An overview of common diseases of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses.
Diseases of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses are a common complaint amongst the general population and service personnel. Chronic rhinosinusitis, with or without nasal polyps, and nasal deformity leading to airway obstruction are some of the commonest ear, nose and throat (ENT) conditions encountered. However, hidden within this generally benign group of conditions are some potentially lethal problems that clinicians need to be able to recognise. This article aims to provide an overview of common conditions affecting the nose and paranasal sinuses, including fractured nasal bones, acute rhinosinusitis and its complications, and chronic rhinosinusitis. Epistaxis and sinonasal malignancies are largely outside the scope of this paper. Background information on pathogenesis will be described, along with guidance on diagnosis and management with particular stress on emergency pre-hospital treatment and indications for referral to an ENT specialist.
