Pediatric Chronic Rhinosinusitis: Unmet Needs

Pediatric chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) remains an elusive diagnostic medical condition, largely based on imperfect diagnostic criteria, lack of controlled studies of therapy, lack of measure for resolution, and lack of information of pediatric sinus microbiome dysbiosis. The true prevalence of pediatric CRS is unknown, and symptoms often over-lap with other diagnoses. We review the unmet needs in pediatric CRS, to highlight potential research opportunities to improve understanding and therapy of the disease process.
