DIAGNOSIS OF THE ORIGIN OF CHRONIC RHINOSINUSITIS AND THE ADVANTAGES OF MODERN CLINICAL DIAGNOSTIC METHODS

Relevance of the experience: Chronic rhinosinusitis is characterized by a long course and usually occurs without a significant increase in temperature. The acute condition is always accompanied by high fever, begins unexpectedly and has more pronounced painful symptoms. The main reason for the development of chronic inflammation of the maxillary sinuses is a violation of their normal drainage. This occurs due to long-term infectious or non-infectious edema in the area of the maxillary nasal anastomosis (allergy, drug-related edema) or impaired mucous clearance. Also, the background for the formation of chronic inflammation are anatomical obstacles in the nose that disrupt normal drainage (deviation of the septum, expansion of the middle turbinates).
