INTRODUCTION Central compartment atopic disease (CCAD) is a newly recognized variant subtype of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). Although CCAD has been reported to be correlated with allergy, there is still a considerable gap in our knowledge regarding CCAD. AREAS COVERED We have conducted a thorough analysis of the literature on CCAD. This review provides current understanding and therapeutic strategies of CCAD. In this article, we will review the clinical presentations and parameters, allergy related etiology, endotypes, and recommended management of CCAD. EXPERT OPINION CCAD is considered as an aeroallergen-driven type 2/eosinophilic inflammatory pattern. Despite the CCAD can be diagnosed by endoscopy and radiology, as well as allergen test, pathogenesis and management strategies leave much to be desired, and further studies are needed.
