📋Overview
Commonly referred to as rhinosinusitis, this condition involves inflammation of both the nasal passages and the sinus cavities, which can lead to fluid accumulation and blockage. This inflammatory response may interfere with normal drainage and cause mucus to build up within the affected areas.
The condition is typically classified by the duration and frequency of symptoms, with categories including acute, subacute, chronic, and recurrent forms. These distinctions are based on the clinical timeline of the inflammatory process within the sinus tissues.
