Chapter 12: Surgery for sinonasal disease.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Computed tomography (CT) of the paranasal sinuses is the diagnostic reference standard for chronic rhinosinusitis and related inflammatory sinus pathology. Nasal nitric oxide (nNO) levels have been investigated as a diagnostic tool in sinus disease because it decreases with sinus obstruction. OBJECTIVE:The ...
