Abstract
The article presents a comparative analysis of the clinical morphologic features of chronic polypous rhinosinusitis, statistically significant differences in different age groups are identified. Differences were detected in complaints among adults, the greater proportion comprised patients with complaints of difficulty in nasal breathing (98,2% and 78.1%, respectively, p < 0.05), discharge from the nasal cavity of mucous or muco-purulent character (84.1 and 41.1%, respectively, p < 0.05), decrease in acuity of smell (hypo – or anosmia) (58.5 and 11.1% respectively, p < 0.05).
Prevalence of Stage 2 and 3 dominated among adults (42.7% and 34.1%, respectively), among children - Stages 1 and 2 (29.1 and 56.6%, respectively), p < 0.05.
Thus, in children a more favorable course of the polypous process was identified in children that justifies the priority of conservative treatment for this group of patients with favorable prognosis of the effectiveness.
