Abstract
Acute rhinosinusitis is a common disease of the pediatric and adult population. While most patients improve either spontaneously or with nonsurgical measures, complications can develop when the infection extends into the orbit or into the intracranial space. This chapter provides insight into the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and medical and surgical management of sinusitis.
