Implication

Expert review demonstrates how combined nasal endoscopy and computed tomography identify paranasal sinus disease mechanisms, suggesting improved outcomes with functional endoscopic sinus surgery.

Key Points

To describe the underlying pathophysiology of paranasal sinus disease and evaluate the diagnostic methods essential for functional endoscopic sinus surgery.
Evaluation of underlying physiological and anatomical mechanisms responsible for paranasal sinus disease.
Diagnostic assessment pairing systematic nasal endoscopy with high-resolution computed tomographic (CT) imaging.
Combined systematic nasal endoscopy and high-resolution CT imaging identify previously unrecognized etiologies of recurrent acute and chronic sinus disease.
Accurate diagnostic localization of disease mechanisms enables targeted corrective intervention through functional endoscopic sinus surgery.
