The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly complicated the diagnosis and management of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS), highlighting the need for a comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach. This review emphasizes current strategies to enhance diagnostic accuracy and treatment efficacy for CRS patients during and after the pandemic. It explores the influence of SARS-CoV-2 on sinonasal pathology, discusses innovative diagnostic tools, and reviews tailored therapeutic options, including conservative management and surgical interventions. Addressing challenges posed by COVID-19 is vital for improving patient outcomes, reducing recurrences, and optimizing healthcare resource utilization. The review synthesizes recent scientific evidence to guide clinicians in delivering effective, individualized care in this evolving landscape.
