The role of intranasal corticosteroids in the treatment of chronic rhinosinusitis

D. Vicheva

Abstract

Topical intranasal corticosteroids (INCS) are used to control disease symptoms in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis (CRSwNP). Intranasal corticosteroids are the first-line treatment for CRSwNP and they are important in the postoperative care of patients undergoing FESS  postoperatively. Oral corticosteroid therapy is reserved for patients with severe symptoms. Endoscopic sinus surgery is indicated for patients with inadequate improvement despite medical therapy.
