Chronic rhinosinusitis is one of the most frequent chronic disorders which influences the patient’s quality of life significantly. The objective of this paper was to examine which are the most frequent and intensive symptoms in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis. The study done in 80 patients with clinical diagnosis of chronic rhinosinusitis that was endoscopically proven and computer tomography of the nose and paranasal sinuses. All the possible symptom was recorded in each and every patient (nasal congestion, nasal discharge, reduction or loss of smell, facial pain/pressure, headache, cough, fatigue, halitosis and ear pain/fullness) the intensity of every possible symptom was recorded. The patients were assessed properly and the intensity of their symptoms was recorded by visual analogue scale. Nasal discharge was the most frequent symptom in our study, it occurred in all 80 patients (100%), followed by nasal obstruction/ blockage in 74 patients (92.5%). Nasal discharge has been recorded as the most intensive symptom and it is significantly more intensive in comparison to nasal congestion which was the second on the intensity list. All other symptoms were significantly less frequent and less intensive.
