title: [Nose and sinus: anatomo-pathologic relations].
abstract: The relationship between rhinitis and chronic sinusitis is close and complex and may perhaps show many points of view, anatomical and physiological, epidemiological (by comparing the prevalence of an ailment in carriers of another ailment), experimental (by making nasal allergen provocation tests and studying the sinus anomalies induced) and physiopathological (by phenotyping and comparison of the inflammation present with one another and other ailments). If the results of these studies are convincing, there is still lack of formal proof that confirms the fundamental role of nasal inflammation in general and in particular allergic inflammation in the genesis of sinusitis.
