Chronic rhinosinusitis is an inflammatory disease of the nose and paransal sinuses. It is common health problem with wide range of symptoms and with significant impact on the quality of life in people suffering from the illness. According to the EPOS criteria chronic rhinosinusitis is diagnosed based on the following criteria: 2 or more symptoms present in duration of 12 or more weeks, one of which has to be nasal obstruction or nasal secretion, with or without associated symptoms of facial pain/pressure and disorted sense of smell. This study assessed the preoperative sinonasal symptoms in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis who underwent surgery for chronic rhinosinusitis at the Department of Otorhynolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery at Sisters of Charity University Hospital during a year period of 2018. Information about examinees was provided by hospital's medical documentation. Research included 70 patients altogether, 37 female and 33 male, respectfully. Age range varied between 11 to 70 years of age, with the median age being 41. Presence of eleven sinonasal symptoms or lack thereof is taken in consideration. In this research the common distribution of symptoms, distribution of symptoms in accordance with patient's associated diseases, as well as, symptom distribution in accordance with surgical operation performed is presented. According to results, the frequency of cardinal symptoms of chronic rhinosinusitis is significantly higher in comparison to other sinonasal symptoms. Three most common symptoms of rhinosinuitis observed in this population are nasal obstruction, postnasal drip and facila pain/pressure. In consideration to associated diseases found in observed population a stattistically remarkable difference between observed groups is found regarding following symptoms: nasal obstruction, postnasal drip and facial pain/pressure. In consideration to the type of surgical intervention performed a stattistically remarkable difference between groups is found regarding following symptoms: nasal obstruction, rhinorrhea, hyposmia and anosmia.
