Pediatric chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a common condition that is often misdiagnosed and can be challenging to treat. This review aims to 1) Review definitions, presentation, complications, and management of CRS in children. 2) Highlight the paucity of evidence in the management of pediatric CRS. There are few studies supporting the usual recommended medical therapy for pediatric CRS (antibiotics, nasal saline irrigations, intranasal steroid). Adenoidectomy remains a mainstay of surgical treatment, but recent evidence demonstrates the utility of balloon sinuplasty and functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) for patients who fail adenoidectomy alone. Pediatric CRS is distinct from ARS and adult CRS. It is a common problem that is poorly studied, in part because of significant symptomatic overlap with related conditions. Recent evidence supports the use of surgical treatment in children who fail medical management. However, further outcome studies are needed to better evaluate the effectiveness of current medical and surgical management protocols.
