Abstract: Chronic rhinosinusitis(CRS)is a multifactorial otolaryngologic disease, often requiring surgical intervention. The diagnosis of CRS is relatively clear based on the patients symptoms, and nasal endoscopy and sinus CT scan findings. However, the pathogenesis is complex with multiple treatment methods. Hence, the type of intrinsic pathologic mechanism and its target treatment method should be given greater consideration, in order to achieve the best therapeutic effects.

Key words: Rhinosinusitis, chronic, Nasal polyps, Pathological mechanism, Nasal surgical procedures, operative, Glucocorticoids
