Abstract: Pediatric rhinosinusitis has distinctly different clinical characteristics and outcomes compared to rhinosinusitis in adults. This is due to the immature development of the paranasal sinuses and immune system. Pediatric rhinosinusitis and other airway diseases, such as allergic rhinitis, otitis media, tonsillitis, and asthma, are closely related. Additionally, patients with pediatric rhinosinusitis are at risk of developing orbital and intracranial complications. Therefore, pediatric rhinosinusitis deserves great attention. This article discusses the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of chronic rhinosinusitis in children as well as the medication and surgical treatment options.

Key words: Children, Rhinosinusitis, Antibiotics, Diagnosis, Treatment
