Rhinosinusitis

Sinusitis or rhinosinusitis is a very common disease that involves inflammation of the paranasal sinuses. The paranasal sinuses are cavities located above and below the eyes and inside the nose; they are connected to each other and to the nasal cavities. Under normal conditions they are filled with air, but when the mucous membranes are inflamed the sinuses become obstructed and accumulate mucus, which leads to an infection that requires treatment.
