Abstract
<b>Introduction and aim:</b> The aim of the study was the analysis of etiology and treatment of chronic rhinosinusitis in our own material.</br></br> <b>Material and methods:</b> The study was performed on 520 women aged 18–87 and 789 men aged 19–85, diagnosed and treated for chronic rhinosinusitis between 2016 and 2020. The analysis was based on the medical records, taking into account: gender; age; type of symptoms; allergy tests; probable cause of inflammation; type of anatomical anomalies; assessment of the stage based on the Lund-Mackay score for CT scans; number of operations; pathology report; postoperative complications.</br></br> <b>Results:</b> The study showed that the hospitalized patients were most often aged 41–50, 51–60, and 31–40 for women and 51–60, 41–50, and 31–40 for men, respectively. The results of allergy tests in chronic rhinosinusitis patients showed that women were most often allergic to Pyralgin + Ketonal + paracetamol + ibuprofen in 4.50%, to penicillins in 1.07%, and to house dust mites in 0.92%, while in men positive reactions were found in 3.36% for Pyralgin + Ketonal + paracetamol + ibuprofen, 0.99% for house dust mites and 0.92% for cat and dog hair, respectively. Absence of anatomical anomalies was found in 20.75% of women and 26.36% of men, but most often they occurred in the form of deviated nasal septum and enlarged middle nasal concha. The pathology reports revealed the following: chronic rhinosinusitis, chronic polypoid rhinosinusitis, chronic cystic rhinosinusitis, and chronic allergic rhinosinusitis.</br></br> <b>Conclusions:</b> The main symptoms in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis included: nasal congestion + rhinorrhea, nasal congestion + nasal discharge + olfactory impairment, and nasal congestion + nasal discharge + headache. The most common probable causes of chronic rhinosinusitis in the studied patients included: anatomical anomalies, allergies, and irritants including tobacco smoke. Depending on the assessment of the stage based on the Lund-Mackay score for CT scans, it appears that moderate to severe inflammation prevailed in the studied patients.
