Abstract

Sinusitis, more aptly referred to as rhinosinusitis, can be described as a symptomatic inflammatory condition of the paranasal sinuses and the nasal cavity. Generally, the condition is regarded as acute (ARS) if lasting up to 4 weeks, sub-acute when lasting between 4 and 12 weeks, and chronic (CRS) if symptoms present for more than 12 weeks.
