Get a look at how chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps is diagnosed, including key symptoms, exams such as nasal endoscopy and CT scans, and testing.
Chronic rhinosinusitis is a chronic inflammatory sinus disease. It is diagnosed when you have a sinus infection, called sinusitis, for 12 weeks or more. Nasal polyps (also called nasal polyposis) are small noncancerous growths that line the nasal passages and sinuses. Although painless, these benign growths can result in symptoms that significantly impact a person’s quality of life. When the two conditions are combined, it is called chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP), or sometimes chronic sinusitis with nasal polyps (CSwNP).
