Chronic rhinosinusitis

nasal congestion/fullness facial pain/pressure/fullness anterior or posterior nasal drainage (?purulent) hypo/anosmia change in voice cough headache fatigue/disruption of sleep halitosis/dental pain ear pain/fullness duration CT/ENT before? Known nasal polyps? ? asthma/COPD, AR, CF, NERD/ASA sensitivity, recurrent infect, EtOH induced worsening of upper airway disease, impaired cilia(CF, PCD), smoking, pollution, occupational exposure, nasal anatomic variations, vasculitis Treatment trials SNOT-22 Score # Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) wNP sNP AFRS Their clinical picture is suggestive of CRS, an inflammatory syndrome defined by objective structural evidence of sinus inflammation and ≥2 cardinal symptoms (nasal congestion, facial pain/pressure, anterior/posterior nasal drainage, absent/reduced smell) ≥12 weeks. While chronic, regular pharmacotherapy can usually control symptoms well. Recommendations: - CT sinuses (non-contrast) vs ENT referral - SPT for common aeroallergens - Ad-hoc testing: ie. B-cell immunodeficiency workup in setting of suspicious symptoms / acute recurrent sinusitis - High volume nasal saline rinses, avoidance of triggers - INCS + treatment of any underlying causes - Consider short course prednisone for symptom management (most evidence for CRSwNP or AFRS) - Consider oral antibiotics for acute exacerbations (controversial) - Consider biologics for CRSwNP if severe/failed first-line therapy - Follow-up: ~3-4 months
