PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: The goal of this panel presentation is to address challenges facing the otolaryngologist managing pediatric rhinosinusitis and complications of acute sinusitis.  Through case-based discussions with practicing pediatric otolaryngologists and rhinologists, the panelists will discuss patient care challenges, review the current evidence, and debate areas of controversy in:

1)     Medical and surgical management of chronic pediatric rhinitis: What to do with the chronic runny nose after adenoidectomy.

2)     Pediatric rhinosinusitis and its medical and surgical management with special focus on:

         a) the use of biologics in pediatric rhinosinusitis:  patient selection, timing, risks

         b) the role of allergy evaluation and management

3)     Acute Pediatric complicated sinusitis and the management of orbital and intracranial complications of acute sinusitis.

Learning Objectives:

Recognize the clinical and radiographic findings separating pediatric rhinitis, rhinosinusitis, and acute complicated sinusitis.
Implement evidence-based management strategies including both medical and surgical therapy for pediatric rhinosinusitis.
Recognize the indications for allergy/immunology evaluation and biologics in the pediatric rhinosinusitis patient and understand a treatment algorithm for acute complicated pediatric sinusitis.
