Resumen
The sinonasal tract plays important roles in respiration, olfaction, and defense against external pathogens. Like many organ systems, the nose and sinuses undergo several changes with advancing age that can play a role in the development of disease. This article discusses the physiology of the aging sinonasal tract and reviews the common diseases affecting older patients, such as rhinitis and rhinosinusitis.
