The assessment of Chronic Rhinosinusitis, like any other disease, may involve multiple possible disease manifestations, including subjective patient-reported outcomes, objective disease (e.g. endoscopy or radiographic), and physician-driven (e.g. need for systemic medications). Disease control is often used as a global metric of disease burden and represents the extent to which disease manifestations are within an acceptable range. Achieving control is an important treatment goal.

Effect of dupilumab on otitis media associated with eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis.

Braz J Otorhinolaryngol

January 2025

Tokushima University Graduate School, Institute of Biomedical Sciences, Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, Tokushima, Japan.

Objective: Eosinophilic Otitis Media (EOM) is an intractable disease caused by type 2 inflammation, such as Eosinophilic Chronic Rhinosinusitis (ECRS) and bronchial asthma. Biologics have recently been used to treat ECRS and bronchial asthma. Biologics are not indicated for EOM; however, because approximately 10% of ECRS cases has concomitant EOM, concomitant EOM improvement has been observed when dupilumab is administered for ECRS.

Introduction: The burden of severe asthma on patients, especially on those with concomitant chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP), is substantial. Treatment intensification with oral corticosteroids is a common strategy for managing severe asthma exacerbations; however, prolonged exposure to systemic corticosteroids is associated with multisystem toxicity. This study aimed to quantify the association between oral corticosteroid use and annual asthma-related costs in patients with severe asthma with or without CRSwNP.

During nasal polyp (NP) development, activated T cells differentiate into T helper (Th) 1, Th2, and Th17 cells. Additionally, regulatory T cells (Tregs) that have an immune suppressive function are involved in the pathophysiology of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) with NP (CRSwNP). Tregs can act as effector cells that produce inflammatory cytokines, such as interleukin (IL)-17A.

Introduction: Allergic fungal rhinosinusitis (AFRS) is a distinct subset of chronic rhinosinusitis characterized by a type I hypersensitivity to fungi. Immunocompromised patients are at increased risk for fungal infections. This case highlights the complexities of managing AFRS in patients not eligible for surgery.

Efficacy of endoscopic sinus surgery in patients under six years old.

Int J Pediatr Otorhinolaryngol

December 2024

Division of Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery, Children's National Medical Center, Washington, D.C, USA. Electronic address:

Objectives: To examine safety and efficacy of very young patients under the age of six who underwent endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) at our institution for the indications of either complicated acute rhinosinusitis (ARS) or chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS).

Methods: Retrospective cohort review of patients under six years old who underwent ESS for sinonasal pathology between 2016 and 2023 at a freestanding pediatric hospital. Age, sex, weight, diagnosis, laterality of disease, medications, types and number of surgical interventions, usage of image guidance, and outcomes were obtained from the medical record.
