Nasal Passages

Rhinosinusitis is inflammation of the nasal passages and paranasal sinuses, commonly caused by allergies or viral infection. Sinusitis occurs after the development of rhinitis or inflammation of the nasal passages. Rhinitis is most commonly caused by allergens, but it also can be to the result of an infectious or autoimmune process. For rhinitis to progress to rhinosinusitis, there must be obstruction within the ostiomeatal complex, which is the draining center for the maxillary, anterior ethmoid, and frontal sinuses. History and physical exam are more specific than imaging for diagnosis. Complications arising from sinusitis can cause extensive morbidity if not recognized early. The most common complication is periorbital cellulitis arising from ethmoidal sinusitis. Evaluate for severe complications in immunocompromised patients. Adjunctive therapies to relieve nasal obstruction include medications that decrease mucosal edema as well as increase clearance of congestion. Consider avoiding antibiotics if symptoms are of short duration and are consistent with viral sinusitis.
