ICD-11 code : CA0A;
Preferred Label : Chronic rhinosinusitis;
ICD-11 definition : Sinusitis is an inflammation of the mucosal lining of the paranasal sinuses secondary
to both infectious and allergic mechanisms. The retention of sinus secretions is the
most important event in the development of sinusitis. This creates a favorable milieu
for the growth of infection agents and may be caused by the obstruction or narrowing
of sinus ostia, mucociliary dysfunction and changes in mucus composition. 90% of sinus
infections involve the maxillary sinus. Chronic sinusitis refers to symptom duration
lasting 3 months or more. Diagnosis of sinusitis is based on past history and physical
examination findings. The CT scan is the most sensitive technique in evaluating sinus
disease. The goals of management of chronic sinusitis are to eradicate infection,
to relieve ostiomeatal obstruction, to normalize mucociliary clearance, and to prevent
complications. When pharmaceutical treatment does not have any remarkable improvement
or when a surgical approach can be chosen as patient's complication, surgical intervention
should be aimed to establish an effective sinus drainage from the ostium. . Functional
endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) describes endoscopic techniques that have revolutionized
the approach to sinus disease. The procedure is aimed at restoring the functional
physiology of sinus aeration and drainage via the expanded ostiomeatal complex while
minimizing surgical alteration of the normal anatomic pathways.;
