AGE-RELATED CLINICAL FEATURES OF THE EXUDATIVE FORM OF CHRONIC RHINOSINUSITIS

The exudative form of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is characterized by persistent inflammation of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinus mucosa, accompanied by pronounced hypersecretion of mucous or serous discharge. The clinical course of the disease largely depends on age-related physiological characteristics, which determine differences in pathogenesis, symptomatology, and therapeutic response.
