title: [Pansinusitis: approach to its etiopathogenesis].
abstract: Local factors and external conditions are determinants for pansinusitis. We present 10 cases in which 20% are of unknown origin, 30% have allergic antecedents, 20% show hypersensitivity to aspirin, 20% have an immotile-cilia syndrome and 10% are caused by exogenous factors. Surgical treatment is performed in 70% of the cases, always followed by a long-term medical therapy. Forty per cent of the cases show a chronic progress despite the type of treatment applied.
