    Allergic rhinitis (AR) and chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) significantly diminish patients' quality of life and are increasingly prevalent globally.

  • 2

    AR is linked to cognitive deficits in children, affecting academic performance and neurodevelopment, while adults experience anxiety and depression.

  • 3

    Factors such as sleep disturbances and facial symptom severity contribute to cognitive impairment in patients with AR and CRS.

  • 4

    Therapeutic strategies for AR and CRS, including intranasal corticosteroids and sinus surgery, may influence cognitive function.

  • 5

    Robust research is needed to better understand the link between AR, CRS, and cognitive dysfunction, as current evidence remains fragmented.
