RESUMEN
Resumen Sinusitis, definida como enfermedad inflamatoria de la mucosa de los senos paranasales, es una enfermedad con alta prevalencia e incidencia en la población general, especialmente en Pediatría.1 Los padecimientos alérgicos e infecciosos de la mucosa nasal representan dos de las enfermedades más frecuentes de las vías aéreas superioras crónicas en niños y adultos jóvenes. Es un problema de salud pública de gran magnitud debido a su alta prevalencia, lo que ocasiona gran presión asistencial en términos de consultas ambulatorias, deterioro significativo de la calidad de vida para el paciente y sus familiares además, implica un fuerte impacto en la comunidad por los altos costos socioeconómicos que generan.2 Su etiología multifactorial y la creciente resistencia bacteriana a antibióticos, especialmente a penicilinas naturales o sintéticas sugiere reconsiderar los fundamentos anatómicos y funcionales con la finalidad de establecer conductas razonables de diagnóstico, terapéutica médica y quirúrgica que permitan un diagnóstico y tratamiento apropiado para disminuir su recurrencia.1,2
ABSTRACT
Abstract Sinusitis, defined as an inflammatory disease of the paranasal sinuses, is a disease with high prevalence and incidence in the general population, especially among children. The allergic and infectious diseases of the nasal mucosa represent two of the most frequent diseases of the chronic upper airways in children and young adults. It is a public health problem of great magnitude due to its high prevalence, which causes great assistance pressure in terms of outpatient consultations, significant deterioration of the quality of life for the patient and their families, and it also implies a strong impact on the community due to the high socio-economic costs. Its multifactorial etiology and the increasing bacterial resistance to antibiotics, especially natural or synthetic penicillins, suggest reconsidering the anatomical and functional foundations in order to establish reasonable diagnostic, medical and surgical therapeutic behaviors that allow a diagnosis and appropriate treatment to decrease its recurrence.
