Cognition and saccadic eye movement performance are impaired in chronic rhinosinusitis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) can experience cognitive dysfunction. The literature on this topic mostly reflects patient-reported measurements. Our goal was to assess cognitive function in patients with CRS using objective measures, including saccadic eye movements-a behavioral response reflecting cognitive and sensory information integration that is often compromised in conditions with impaired cognition.

Methods

Participants (N = 24 with CRS, N = 23 non-CRS healthy controls) enrolled from rhinology clinic underwent sinonasal evaluation, quality of life assessment (Sino-nasal Outcome Test 22 [SNOT-22]), and cognitive assessment with the Neuro-QOL Cognitive Function-Short Form, the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), and recording of eye movements u
