Abstract
Program Description: Over a decade has passed since the last comprehensive definition of pediatric rhinosinusitis was developed by an expert panel. In this miniseminar, international leaders in the field of pediatric rhinology will provide the latest evidence and experience regarding the definition of pediatric rhinosinusitis. Specifically, panelists will provide state-of-the-art concepts regarding pediatric rhinosinusitis including contributing factors such as allergy, antigens, fungus, biofilms, and reflux. The panel will discuss the differences between acute and chronic pediatric rhinosinusitis and provide the audience with guidelines for the clinical evaluation of both. Finally, with the use of case presentations, the panel will discuss contemporary medical and surgical interventions for acute and chronic pediatric rhinosinusitis.
Educational Objectives: 1) Understand the current definitions of acute and chronic pediatric rhinosinusitis. 2) Understand contributing factors to pediatric rhinosinusitis including allergy, fungus, biofilms, and reflux. 3) Understand contemporary treatment options for acute and chronic pediatric rhinosinusitis.
