Chronic Hypertrophic Rhinitis
Chronic rhinitis
(chmnic rhinitis) is a chronic inflammation of the
mucosa and submucosa. The clinical manifestations of
mucosal swelling, increased secretions, no clear
pathogenic microbial infection, duration of more
than a few months or characterized by recurrent.
Chronic hypertrophic rhinitis is a common
disease.
Symptoms of Chronic Hypertrophic
Rhinitis
Chronic hypertrophic
rhinitis symptoms: unilateral or bilateral
persistent nasal obstruction, alternating. Little
snot sticky mucus or purulent, is not easy to blow
out. An occlusive nasal, tinnitus, and ear occlusion
flu and include headache, dizziness, dry throat,
sore throat. The small number of patients may have
hyposmia.
Causes of Chronic Hypertrophic
Rhinitis
Chronic hypertrophic
rhinitis of unknown etiology. Generally believed not
infectious diseases. Even if the infection is also
secondary. The disease is associated with the
following factors.
- chronic hypertrophic rhinitis local factors
- acute rhinitis recurrent or has not been thorough treatment.
- the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses of chronic diseases: chronic purulent sinusitis, pus long-term stimulation of the nasal mucosa. Severe nasal septum deviation to obstruct nasal ventilation drainage, to increase nasal recurrent infection opportunities, and difficult to complete recovery.
- adjacent infectious lesions: such as chronic tonsillitis and adenoid hypertrophy.
- nasal medication improperly or for too long can lead to drug-induced rhinitis: such as long-term use of intranasal net or ephedrine intranasally.
- Occupational and environmental factors, long-term or repeated inhalation of dust (such as cement, lime, coal dust, flour, etc.), or harmful chemical gases (such as sulfur dioxide, formaldehyde, etc.), the temperature and humidity of the dramatic changes in life or production environment (such as steelmaking bake melting, freezing jobs) can lead to chronic hypertrophic rhinitis.
- chronic hypertrophic
rhinitis systemic factors
- systemic chronic diseases: anemia, diabetes, rheumatism, tuberculosis, heart, liver and kidney disease and autonomic dysfunction and chronic constipation, nasal blood vessels can cause long-term stasis or reflex hyperemia.
- malnutrition: a lack of vitamin A, C.
- endocrine diseases or disorders: hypothyroidism can cause nasal edema.
Treatment of
Chronic Hypertrophic Rhinitis
Conservative treatment
of nasal inferior turbinate vasoconstrictor still
capable of narrowing, can be used the same way with
chronic simple rhinitis treatment can also be used
for treatment of inferior turbinate sclerotherapy
laser, freezing or microwave, radio
frequency.
Partial resection of
the mucosa of the inferior turbinate severe
hypertrophy, the vasoconstrictor response,
especially under turbinate hypertrophy, partial
turbinectomy line. Mucosal resection of inferior
turbinate hypertrophy, the lower edge of the
inferior turbinate hypertrophy of the mucous
membrane and the back-end.
