Pediatric Chronic Rhinosinusitis (PCRS) is a common condition in
otolaryngological practice. PCRS remains ill-defined as a condition as it remains
difficult to establish as a diagnosis. PCRS may co-exist with other widespread
conditions such as allergic rhinosinusitis and adenoiditis. Recent efforts have been
targeted at defining this condition and to develop stepwise treatment. A consensus of
statement was recently put out defining PCRS as at least 90 continuous days of nasal
symptoms with corresponding endoscopic and/or image findings in a patient who is 18
years old or younger. With a working definition, research has focused on developing
stepwise treatments ranging from medical management to endoscopic sinus surgery.
This chapter focuses on discussing the developed treatments for PCRS.
