Overview

Rhinosinusitis can be classified based on the location of sinus involved, the duration of the disease, or its etiology.

Classification

By Location

There are several paired paranasal sinuses, including the frontal, ethmoid, maxillary and sphenoid sinuses. Rhinosinusitis can be classified by the sinus cavity that is affected:[1][2][3]

By Duration and Etiology

Based on the duration and etiology of symptoms, rhinosinusitis may be classified into:[4][5]

  • Acute (symptoms lasting less than four weeks)
    • Acute Viral Rhinosinusitis (AVR)
    • Acute Bacterial Rhinosinusitis
    • Recurrent Acute Rhinosinusitis (more than 3 episodes of acute rhinosinusitis in a year for at least 7-10 days without persistent symptoms in between the episodes)
  • Subacute (symptoms lasting 4-12 weeks) or
  • Chronic (symptoms lasting 12 or more weeks)
    • Chronic Sinusitis with Nasal Polyposis
    • Chronic Sinusitis without Nasal Polyposis
    • Allergic Fungal Sinusitis
