Abstract :

Background: For decades co–existence of chronic allergic rhinosinusitis and asthma due to common inflammatory pathway has been illustrated in the literature. The Endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) is regarded as the gold standard in the treatment of chronic rhinosinusitis refractory to medical treatment. The aim of the study was to assess symptoms of chronic allergic rhinosinusitis and pulmonary function pre and post surgically. Method: This was a prospective study conducted between April 2003 and March 2004 at Mahatma Gandhi Medical College, Indore. The study was carried out on Fifty–five patients between 18 and 55 years, who underwent detailed clinical evaluation by nasal endoscopy and radiological assessment by CT scan PNS. Patients underwent FESS along with PFT pre & post surgically. Results: Post surgery the lung function showed an average improvement of 14% in FEV1,20% in PEFR and 18% in FVC. Also, there was 100 % improvement in nasal obstruction,92% in headache and 96% in nasal discharge post surgically.
