This is a cross sectional study of 40 patients diagnosed with chronic rhinosinusitis using the Lanza Kennedy diagnostic criteria based on nasal endoscopy (NE), and on computer tomography (CT) of the paranasal sinuses. The purpose of the study is to demonstrate the effectiveness and limitations of CT, and NE in the assessment of chronic rhinosinusitis. This study shows that CT was superior in de...

Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is defined as chronic inflammation of the nose and paranasal sinuses with two or more symptoms, one which can be nasal congestion/obstruction/congestion rhinorrhea (anterior/postnasal drip), and/or facial pain, reduced loss smell.

We want to know if it is possible to make an accurate distinction between patients with and without nasal polyps based on a limited number of clinical criteria, collected by health-related quality of life questionnaires.

INTRODUCTION Chronic rhinosinusitis is very common in patients with cystic fibrosis. This can be explained by the unified airway concept, where the same pathophysiological phenomenon that affects the lungs, affects the paranasal sinuses. The management of these cases is difficult. OBJECTIVE To describe the teamwork of otolaryngologists and bronchopulmonary specialists in patients with cystic ...
