Does recurrent sinusitis lead to a sinusitis remodeling of the upper airways in asthmatic children with chronic rhinitis?

Background: There is a growing recognition that some patients with long-standing asthma may possess a component of irreversible airflow obstruction due to airway remodeling. The underlying chronic inflammation has been implicated as the cause of this process. In the upper airways, the inflammation presents itself with symptoms of chronic rhinitis, leading to recurrent sinusitis, in some patients.
