Anatomy - the anatomy of the nose, such as a deviated septum, can interfere with proper nasal drainage, causing sinusitis.
Lifestyle - pregnancy and smoking can put you at a higher risk of sinusitis.
Infection or Inflammation - bacterial and viral infections as well as acid reflux disease can contribute to sinusitis.
Tumors - less common, sinus and nasal tumors can block drainage paths and cause sinusitis
Developmental Problems - certain developmental disorders can cause sinusitis, such as cystic fibrosis.
Sinusitis is often treated with a regimen of antibiotics and steroid nasal sprays.
