A associação entre sinusite e asma tem sido estudada por muitos anos. Sabe-se que a sinusite e a asma coexistem em muitos pacientes. Além disso, a afecção dos seios da face parece ser um fator agravante para a asma e diversos autores relataram um melhor controle das crises de asma quando uma sinusite concomitante foi efetivamente tratada. Entretanto, até o momento, a relação causa-efeito permanece incerta. Muitas teorias têm sido propostas para explicar esta associação, principalmente o reflexo naso-sinuoso-brônquico, a aspiração faríngea e a ativação de mediadores inflamatórios. O objetivo deste artigo é revisar as principais teorias que correlacionam as doenças dos seios paranasais à asma, analisando a existência de um vínculo entre estas duas entidades.
The association between sinusitis and asthma has been studied for many years. It is well known that sinusitis and asthma coexist in many patients. Moreover, sinus disease seems to be an aggravating factor for asthma, and several authors relate control of asthma with the effective treatment of concomitant sinusitis. However, thus far, the cause-and-effect relationship remains unclear. Many theories have been proposed to explain this association, mainly the nasal-sinusbronchial reflex, the pharyngeal aspiration, and the activation of inflammatory mediators. The objective of this article is to review the most important theories that correlate sinus disease and asthma, and to analyze the existence of a link between these entities.
