Pediatric chronic sinusitis management remains challenging due to limited evidence. This review offers practical recommendations for factors like allergies and infections, highlighting endoscopic sinus surgery and irrigation for symptom relief.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Otolaryngology
  • Allergy and Immunology
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Clinical practice guidelines for acute sinusitis in children exist, but pediatric chronic sinusitis lacks sufficient evidence for similar guidelines.
  • The pathogenesis and management of pediatric chronic sinusitis are not well understood, necessitating expert review and practical recommendations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the literature and expert clinical experience regarding pediatric chronic sinusitis.
  • To develop specific recommendations and practical treatment options for managing pediatric chronic sinusitis.

Main Methods:

  • Comprehensive literature review focusing on pediatric chronic sinusitis.
  • Analysis of expert clinical experience in managing pediatric chronic sinusitis.

  • Identification of associated factors, pathogens, and medical interventions.

    • Main Results:

    • Associated factors include recurrent viral infections, rhinitis, ciliary dyskinesia, cystic fibrosis, immunodeficiency, and anatomical abnormalities.
    • Bacteriology involves common acute sinusitis pathogens plus Staphylococcus aureus, anaerobes, and fungi.
    • Endoscopic sinus surgery and antral irrigation show the highest potential for symptom improvement.

    Conclusions:

    • Management requires addressing individual factors such as GERD, allergies, and immune deficiencies.
    • A multi-faceted approach is needed, considering various contributing factors and treatment modalities.
    • Further research is needed to develop evidence-based guidelines for pediatric chronic sinusitis.
