Nasal epithelium
ciliated, pseudostratified columnar
a donde drena el nasolacrimal duct
al inferior meatus
a donde drenan los frontal, maxillary and anterior sinues
al ostheomeatal complex
a donde drena el posterior ethmoid sinus
al superior meatus
a donde drena el anterior ethmoid sinus
middle meatus
a donde drena el sphenoid sinus ostia
to the superior turbinate
the vasculatiry its given by..
Internal carotid –> ophthalmic–> anterior and posterior ethmoid arteries
External carotid –> sphenopalatine artery
the venois drainage its by…
pterygoid and ophtalmic plexuses
Principales symptoms of rhinits
nasal obstruction, hypeirrtibility and hypersecretion
persistent rhinits
more then 4 days a week AND more the 4 weeks
intermitent rhinits
symptoms for less then 4 days a week or less then 4 weeks
mild vx moderate/severe rhinits
normal or abnormal sleep (moderate and severe)
symptons of NON allergic rhinitis
nasal obstruction, clear rhinorrhea,
not tha common: sneezing, itchy and watery eyes
viral non allergic rhinits
associated with other manifestations of viral illness: headache, malaise, body aches, cough.
occupational non allergic rhinits
pollutants like dust, ozone, garden sprays, etc. (irritant agents). Nasal dryness.
vasomotos non allergyc rhinits
symptons associated with changes of temperature, eating, alcohol use, etc.
non allergyc rhitis with eosinophilia
they have more severe exacerbations (eosinophilia >25%)
medicamentosa non allergic rhinits
because of the over-the-corner topical vasoconstrictive nasal sprays (Afrin most common drug that gives this)
pregnancy non allergic rhinits
rise of estrogen –> rise of hyaluronic acid –> rise of nasal edema and congestion
basic tx of non allergic rhinits
-Irritant avoidance
-Saline irrigation (for a clean nose, improves ciliary function)
-Topical Intranasal steroids (reduce eosinophil and neutrophil chemotaxis and inflammation) (don’t give IV, IM)
-a-adrenergic drugs (2 main familys: phenylamines [contraindicated in px with hypertension, coronary artery disease, etc] and imidazolines)
-Anticholinergics (ipratropium, azelastine, cromolyn, etc)
for mild intermittent/persistent non allergic rhinits TX

for moderate/severe persisiten non alergic rhintis tx

surgical measures for non allergic rhinits
septoplasty and turbinate surgery (inferior turbinate)
*for anatomical problems
