Sinusitis, auch Nasennebenhöhlenentzündung (lateinisch Sinus paranasalis, Nasennebenhöhle und -itis ‚Entzündung‘), ist eine entzündliche, durch Viren oder Bakterien hervorgerufene Veränderung der Schleimhaut der Nasennebenhöhlen. Es wird unterschieden zwischen akuter und chronischer Nasennebenhöhlenentzündung. Zu den Nasennebenhöhlen zählen die Kieferhöhlen (Sinusitis maxillaris, Kieferhöhlenentzündung), Stirnhöhlen, Siebbeinzellen und die Keilbeinhöhle.
