Currently, the problem of acute rhinosinusitis continues to be relevant due to the frequent occurrence of this pathology. A certain difficulty is caused by the differential diagnosis of viral, post-viral and bacterial forms of rhinosinusitis, which carries the risks of irrational therapy. The authors of the article discuss the role of a viral infection in the etiology and pathogenesis of acute rhinosinusitis, the stages in the development of an inflammatory reaction on the mucous membrane of the nose and paranasal sinuses, and the disruption of mucociliary clearance. The authors consider options for the pathogenetic therapy of postviral sinusitis, concluding that the use of local combined preparations containing the mucolytic acetylcysteine and the vasoconstrictor component of tuaminoheptane sulfate is effective.

Background: Allergic rhinitis (AR) and acute non-allergic rhinosinusitis (ARS) often present with similar symptoms. While these are generally differentiated by history and occasionally by secretion cell counts, there are few data temporally comparing these conditions.

Methods: A prospective, observational study was conducted to assess nasal mucus properties, nasal obstruction, nasal secretion cells, and health related QOL during the acute phase (Day 5) and during a later phase of illness (Day 14/28).

Introduction: The differential diagnosis of orbital complications of rhinosinusitis with diseases of the lacrimal sac in childhood remains unresolved both due to the similarity of the symptoms of the diseases and due to certain diagnostic difficulties requiring computed tomography.

Objective: To develop an algorithm for routing a patient to the emergency department of a multidisciplinary emergency hospital based on clinical and diagnostic distinctive features of sinusitis with orbital complications and diseases of the lacrimal sac with reactive edema of the eyelids.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective cohort analysis of children's medical histories, who were treated in the otorhinolaryngological and ophthalmological departments of the Morozovskaya Children's City Clinical Hospital during 2022 was performed for orbital complications of rhinosinusitis or dacryocystitis with reactive edema of the eyelids.

Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, Rhinology and Endoscopic Skull Base Surgery, American University of Beirut Medical Center, 11-0236, Riad El Solh, Beirut, 1107 2020, Lebanon.

Purpose: To investigate the risk of swallowing disorders and the frequency and intensity of vocal tract symptoms in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis and nasal polyposis (CRSwNP).

Methods: Adult patients diagnosed with CRSwNP presenting to the rhinology clinic of a tertiary referral center between March 2023 and March 2024, were recruited. Patients with acute or recent history of respiratory tract infections, tonsillitis, pharyngitis or otitis, were excluded.

Background: In this review article, we aimed to discuss the pathogenesis of sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) in patients with different forms of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS), with special reference to the connection of the immune response of the nasal and middle ear mucosa and inner ear structures.

Methods: Articles for this review were identified using PubMed and Google© Scholar databases.

Results: Different phenotypes of CRS may be associated with impaired function of the inner and outer cells of the organ of Corti.

Aim Of Study: This study aimed to compare headache and facial pain prevalence and headache phenotype among people with common upper respiratory tract infections (URTIs).

Clinical Rationale For Study: Headache is a common symptom in viral URTI, but its phenotyping has so far been limited to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and influenza. Additionally, the prevalence of facial pain in URTIs has only rarely been discussed in scientific publications.
