Histopathologic Relationship Between Ethmoid Sinus and Ipsilateral Middle Turbinate in Non-Polypose Chronic Sinusitis by FESS.

Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a common disease with significant effects on the quality of life. Infection was previously a common cause of rhino sinusitis, while nowadays its main cause is inflammation. Non-polyposis CRS patients who were resistant to medical treatment and underwent endoscopic sinus surgery in Ghaem and Imam Reza hospitals were studied from December 2008 to November 2009.

Comparison of sinonasal symptoms in patients with nasal septal deviation and patients with chronic rhinosinusitis.

Introduction: Disorders of the nose and paranasal sinuses are among the most common chronic illnesses. Although considerable progress has been made in the medical and surgical control of these diseases, a large number of questions relating to the diagnosis, evaluation, and treatment of these conditions remain unanswered. The aim of the present study was to evaluate differences in the frequency of symptoms and disease severity in patients with nasal septal deviation (NSD) compared with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS).
