Abstract
Sinusitis is a common but frequently underdiagnosed and undertreated c ondition. Because of its subtle presentation, the diagnostic index of suspicion for chronic sinusitis must be high. The use of CT scans has helped considerably in diagnosis. Functional endoscopic sinus surgery is the treatment of choice in medically resistant cases. The associati on of sinusitis and asthma emphasizes the relationship between the upp er and lower airways.
