Sinonasal anatomic variants and asthma are associated with faster development of chronic rhinosinusitis in patients with allergic rhinitis

Abstract

Sinonasal anatomical variants, infraorbital cells, and frontal intersinus cells, as well as comorbid asthma are associated with faster development of CRS in patients with AR. The presence of these clinical risk factors identifies patients who should be counseled on compliance with medical therapy for AR.
