Abstract

A 46-year old woman presented with a 18 month history of purulent nasal discharge, post nasal drip, nasal obstruction, reduced smell and intermittent facial discomfort. She had a 4 week course of Doxycycline 100 mg once daily 12 weeks of a saline nasal douche and a steroid spray with only partial improvement of her symptoms. Skin prick tests were negative for the tested allergens. A CT scan of the sinuses was suggestive of Primary Chronic Rhinosinusitis of the diffuse type. The patient underwent targeted ‘limited’ Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery and made a good recovery.
