Abstract

Chronic rhinosinusitis affects approximately 5-15% of the population and has an economic burden estimated to be between $22 – $64.5 billion US dollars per year. The condition causes significant reductions in quality of life, productivity and emotional wellbeing for patients. Furthermore it is a top ten leading cause of employee absenteeism.

Tobial McHugh, MD, FRCSC

Dr. Tobial McHugh is dual fellowship trained in pediatric otolaryngology and most recently in rhinology, anterior skull base surgery. He completed otolaryngology, head and neck surgery residency training at McMaster University and his medical degree at McGill University. Research interests include pediatric otolaryngology, anterior skull base pathologies, allergy, and rhinosinusitis. Dr. McHugh will be planning to combine both his fellowships with a special interest in pediatric anterior skull base pathologies and surgery.
