Experience with cryotherapy of vasomotor rhinitis is reported. This proved effective with respect to occlusive and seromucous secretory components. The concomitant vasomotor phenomena such as cephalea and oviduct obstructions received some benefit. The probable mechanism of cryotherapeutic treatment and how to use the various probes are also illustrated.

Nonallergic rhinitis (NAR) describes chronic symptoms of nasal congestion, obstruction, and rhinorrhea unrelated to a specific allergen based on skin or serum testing. Vasomotor rhinitis is the most frequent subtype of NAR. Although medical management is the first-line treatment of NAR, there is a role for surgical therapy when medications fail to improve symptoms.

A variety of surgical procedures are performed for treatment of hypertrophic inferior turbinates, but there is no completely effective therapy. We evaluated subjectively and objectively 52 patients who underwent one of two procedures: partial inferior turbinectomy (PIT) or cryosurgery of the inferior turbinates (CS). The results of PIT showed good functional results in 77 per cent of cases for long-term effectiveness.

Patients with nasal turbinate dysfunction most often are seen by the physician with such symptoms as watery nasal secretions, nasal obstruction, congestion, facial pressure, or pain. There will often have been multiple attempts to manage the problem medically and symptomatically with antihistamines, decongestants, antibiotics, nasal cromolyn, and topical or systemic steroid therapy. Some patients will have undergone numerous attempts at surgical therapy, most often with cryosurgery or cauterization.
