Atrophic Rhinitis
Atrophic Rhinitides

Presentation

OBJECTIVE The objective of the present study was to evaluate the reasons of the almost complete ozena disappearance in current population. [arquivosdeorl.org.br]

Our experience of treating 15 patients with saddle nose deformity secondary to atrophic rhinitis is presented. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Entire Body System

  • Heat Intolerance

    Abstract Hypohidrotic/anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia is a rare inherited disorder characterized by hypohidrosis/anhidrosis, hypotrichosis, dysodontia and heat intolerance. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Respiratoric

  • Anosmia

    Atrophic rhinitis is a disease which manifests itself mainly by anosmia due to dryness and atrophy of the nasal mucosa. There is no specific therapy for the disease at present. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    Moderate variety features anosmia and stench emanating from the nasal cavity. Severe variety is invariably caused by syphilis. [archive.org]

    The various symptoms include foetor (strong offensive smell), crusting/nasal obstruction, nosebleeds, anosmia (loss of smell) or cacosmia (hallucination of disagreeable odour), secondary infection, maggot infestation, nasal deformity, pharyngitis, otitis [cochrane.org]

  • Hyposmia

    Actually, the orthonasal psychophysical testing showed that four patients out of nine had anosmia, three out of nine had hyposmia and two out of nine were normosmic. All the patients demonstrated retro-olfaction scores inferior to the normal values. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Postnasal Drip

    Symptoms The signs and symptoms of nonallergic rhinitis include: Rhinitis causes sneezing and a runny nose. sneezing a blocked or runny nose nasal pressure nasal pain postnasal drip, with phlegm, or mucus, in the throat. [medicalnewstoday.com]

Face, Head & Neck

  • Epistaxis

    That milieu facilitates acute and chronic infection (wet phase), and eventual sclerosis with epistaxis and chronic bloody crusts (dry phase). [doi.org]

    Therefore, narrowing of the nasal airway size helps in relieving the symptoms, especially frequent Epistaxis. For this, techniques such as Teflon submucosal injection. [medicforyou.blogspot.com]

    Clinical, endoscopic, radiological features: The clinical symptoms include nasal obstruction, epistaxis, impaired olfaction, purulence and crusting. [scitechnol.com]

Treatment

Selection criteria: Randomised controlled trials ( RCTs ) studying any treatment or combination of treatments in patients with atrophic rhinitis. We excluded studies with follow-up of less than five months following treatment/ intervention. [cochrane.org]

SELECTION CRITERIA: Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) studying any treatment or combination of treatments in patients with atrophic rhinitis. We excluded studies with follow-up of less than five months following treatment/intervention. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Treatment is divided into general, local medical and surgical. [m.iliveok.com]

A treatment of 74 months noticed a "significant clinical improvement" with the disappearance of the fetidness and klebsiella ozenae without cultures (5). Several described surgical treatments exist in literature. [arquivosdeorl.org.br]

Prognosis

Prognosis There is a tendency to recover spontaneosly. [drpaulose.com]

Prognosis The disease persists for years but there is a tendency to recover spontaneously in middle age. Treatment It may be medical or surgical. 1. Medical. Complete cure of the disease is not yet possible. [earnosethroatclinic.blogspot.com]

Prognosis. It is beyond question that this disease is one of the most intractable to deal with in the whole field of medicine, and from the very nature of the case it is held by a very large number of most eminent authorities to be incurable. [operatingmicroscopes.com]

Etiology

Excessive turbinate surgery has been both acquitted and accused in the literature as an etiology for secondary atrophic rhinitis. We saw 242 patients with the diagnosis of atrophic rhinitis between 1982 and 1999. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Conclusion: No specific etiological factor is known for AR but possibly more than one factor is responsible for etiology. More prevalent in the people of lower socioeconomic status. [scopemed.org]

Epidemiology

It has unique epidemiological features and clinical characteristics. Clinicians and researchers for decades have tried to postulate theories for the aetiology of the primary form of the disease. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Pathophysiology

A case of atrophic rhinitis complicated by nasal septum perforation is presented, followed by a discussion of the clinical characteristics, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and management of this disease process. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prevention

Hard to remove crusts can be removed by forceps once they are softened by irrigation Painting the nasal mucosa with 25% glucose in glycerol – helps prevent growth of bacteria so that foul smell does not occur Antibiotic sprays Oestradiol spray – to improve [pgblazer.com]

Prevention and treatment of the disease is discussed. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prevention of atrophic rhinitis The development of atrophic rhinitis can be prevented by following some instructions. It is essential to avoid close contact with the dust that has silica, cement or tobacco nature. [respiratory.vsebolezni.com]

In cases of atrophic rhinitis, routine nasal lavage and lubrication can prevent the formation of crusts and help to keep the nasal lining moist. Daily irrigation of the nasal passages is good preventive practice. [medicalnewstoday.com]
