Definition

  • It develops when inflammation or hypertrophy (swelling) of the mucosa blocks the openings (ostia) in the sinuses through which mucus drains into the nose (Lewis, Dirksen & Heitkemper, 2014). 
  •  The clinical practice guideline for adult sinusitis released by the American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery Foundation (Rosenfeld, Andes & Bhattacharyya, 2007) recommends use of the term rhinosinusitis since sinusitis is almost always accompanied by inflammation of the nasal mucosa.
