A Comparative Study of Symptom Scores in Patients Undergoing Posterior Lateral Nasal Neurectomy with Medical Management for Allergic Rhinitis.

ABSTRACT: Allergic rhinitis is an IgE mediated reaction against inhaled allergens. Patients not responding to medical treatment require surgery. Most surgical procedures reduce erectile tissue of inferior turbinates. Vidian neurectomy reduces nasal hyperreactivity and secretions by reducing parasympathetic supply, but results in loss of lacrimation. Transnasal posterior nasal neurectomy is more selective denervation procedure which preserves lacrimation. There are few studies documenting the outcome of posterior lateral nasal neurectomy. Posterior lateral nasal neurectomy can be good treatment option for perennial allergic rhinitis. To assess and compare the symptom scores in patients undergoing posterior lateral nasal neurectomy and medical management for allergic rhinitis. This prospective study i
