We present a rarely described complication of unilateral rhinorrhea and sneezing in a patient who received intravenous sedation with propofol and supplemental oxygen via a nasal cannula during upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. The literature is reviewed and a mechanism is proposed. Mechanical irritation of the nasal mucosa is felt to be the trigger. Suggestions to avoid and to treat are offered.

Article Synopsis
- This study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of Beta-2 transferrin (B2Tf) gel electrophoresis in diagnosing cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) rhinorrhea among patients with unilateral thin clear rhinorrhea (UTCR), a condition that can indicate various medical issues. !* -
- Conducted from 2016 to 2024, the study involved 105 patients and showed B2Tf GE had a sensitivity of 89.5% and specificity of 78.3%, with certain causes for false results identified, such as sinusitis and contamination during sample collection. !* -
- While the findings align with previous literature on test accuracy, the study highlights the need for further research
