Sinusitis in patients with cystic fibrosis.
The management of sinus disease in children with cystic fibrosis is reviewed, based on a literature review and clinical experience in The Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto. Diagnostic and treatment approaches are discussed, with emphasis given to indications for surgical therapies. Great importance is given to the preservation of normal nasal anatomy whenever possible to minimize the possibility of iatrogenic injuries occurring, especially when revision surgery is required.
