Because the process takes a long time, there are changes in the nasal mucosa. Develop hypertrophic processes formed polypoid growths or polyps. Disturbed nasal breathing, suffering from the very functioning of the respiratory tract. Polyps can fill the entire nasal cavity, which will hinder the process of moving air through the nose and ventilation capacity appears to be broken. If the inflammation in chronic sinusitis is a common and obliterating polyps olfactory slit, the patient's sense of smell is impaired.
