  • Title: Chronic rhinosinusitis in adults.
    Author: Cherry WB, Li JT.
    Journal: Am J Med; 2008 Mar; 121(3):185-9. PubMed ID: 18328298.
    Abstract:
    There is no consensus on diagnostic criteria for chronic rhinosinusitis. By convention, the symptoms of chronic rhinosinusitis are similar to those of acute rhinosinusitis but last more than 8 weeks. Diagnosis is based on history, physical examination, and computed tomography scan of the sinuses or rhinoscopy. Treatment options are numerous and, for the most part, not evidence based. They include antibiotics, nasal or oral corticosteroids, antihistamines, naval lavage, decongestants, immunotherapy, and surgery. Which diagnostic and therapeutic options to exercise when, is the focus of this article.
