Chronic Sinusitis ICD-10-CM Codes | 2023

Yes, untreated chronic sinusitis can lead to severe complications, including infections that spread to the brain, causing meningitis or a brain abscess.

Treatments for chronic sinusitis include medications to reduce inflammation and control the underlying cause, saline nasal irrigation, and, in some cases, surgical intervention.

Surgery can help alleviate the symptoms of chronic sinusitis and improve sinus drainage. However, the inflammation can return after surgery.
