NASAL ALLERGYNASAL ALLERGY
Allergic rhinitis is an IgE-mediated type 1 hypersensitivity reaction in the mucous membranes of the nasal airways.
The disease is very common, affecting approximately 30% of the population.
It can be seasonal or perennial .

Inhalants : They may be seasonal(Pollens from grasses, flowers and trees ) or perennial (house dust ; Epithelial debris from domestic cats and dogs )
Food and drugs: include various types of foods, but especially wheat and dairy products and drugs, such as aspirin, iodine and antibiotics,

AppearancesAppearances
In the acute stage: pale edematous mucosa with excessive thin watery mucoid secretion is typical.
In the chronic stage: the mucosa is swollen, but its colour is deeper red or even slightly blue, depending on the degree of venous congestion.

The use of drugsThe use of drugs 1.antihistamines are the best treatment for
symptomatic relief, but the classic antihistamines are often soporific .
2. Steroids :injection;or oral medication; the local inhalers and sprays
3.sympathomimetic and vasoconstrictor drugs (in the form of drops and sprays)
4. mast cell stabilizer(in the form of inhalers and sprays): Sodium cromoglycate (Rynacrom), for example, prevents the type I hypersensitivity reaction being initiated by the arrival of the antigen in the nasal mucosa

Specific hyposensitizationSpecific hyposensitization
Through skin testing, we can identify the exact of the allergen. Weekly injections of increasing dosage of the allergen are given for several months before the expected exposure; this implies starting early in the year in the case of hay pollinosis. Yearly boosting injections are also needed. But its safety in still in question.

NASAL POLYPSNASAL POLYPS
Nasal polyps are greyish masses of pedunculated tissue resembling a bunch of grapes. They are generally multiple, nearly always bilateral and produce nasal blockage by their presence. It has a very high recurrence rate.
![Page 15: nasal allergy](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103016/554b6647b4c905030a8b4837/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
AetiologyAetiology
The cause is essentially unknown. Vasomotor imbalance, saccharide abnormalities , allergy , infections, aspirin hypersensitivity and the change of micro-environment in the middle meatus may all have a role. The cause of nasal polyps is a result of many factors action.
![Page 16: nasal allergy](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103016/554b6647b4c905030a8b4837/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Histopathology.Histopathology.
Histologically polyps have a ciliated columnar epithelium, a loose vascular grossly edematous stroma, and are infiltrated with plasma cells and many eosinophils. The epithelium may become squamous if the polyp presents at the nostril.
![Page 17: nasal allergy](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103016/554b6647b4c905030a8b4837/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Clinical featuresClinical features Symtom:nasal obstruction usually
bilateral; mucoid or purulent discharge, pus indicates associated sinus suppuration; olfactory dysfunction; headache;
![Page 18: nasal allergy](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103016/554b6647b4c905030a8b4837/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Clinical featuresClinical features
physical examination : polyps looks soft, bleeds uneasily and are painless. In less advanced cases, smaller polyps may closely resemble blobs of mucus but are not cleared by blowing the nose. In advanced cases , the multiple grey polypoidal masses may totally fill the nose bilaterally, the external nose may become broadened ,the condition is known as “frog face”.

Treatment Treatment medical treatment: prednisolone, follo
wed by the use of aqueous bec1omethasone, or a similar preparation.
surgical treatment: avulse the polyps ;control the predisposing factors such as sinusitis, deviation of nasal septum.

After surgical treatment, decongestant drops and the use of steroid(in the form of drops and sprays) are very helpful and should be provided long term.

SinusitisSinusitisSinusitis is the inflammatory condition
mucous membrane lining of the sinuses .The maxillary sinus clinically the most
commonly affected, followed by the ethmoid, frontal and sphenoid sinuses in that order.
Maxillary sinusitis may occur alone or with involvement of the other sinuses. Infection in the other groups of sinuses rarely occurs without maxillary sinusitis, and indeed the key to their treatment is generally the control of the maxillary sinusitis itself.
![Page 42: nasal allergy](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103016/554b6647b4c905030a8b4837/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
the middle meatus play a pivotal role in most diseases of the sinuses, and that most inflammations of the maxillary, frontal and ethmoid sinuses arise from this point

Maxillary sinus pain :an aching over the antrum, often with aching in the upper teeth. There may be tenderness on pressing in the region of the canine fossa.
Frontal sinus pain :is known as a 'vacuum frontal headache'. A distinctive symptom of frontal sinus infection is pain above the eye.coming on at morning ,releasing at afternoon. Tapping over the frontal region may be painful.
Ethmoidal headache is usually deep-seated and felt behind the eyes, with tenderness around the region of the inner canthus.
sphenoidal headache is usually described as being felt deeply in the centre of the head.

DiagnosisDiagnosis
1.history and symtom:
2.physical examination: reddened and oedematous, especially those of middle turbinate, middle meatus and uncinate process. A trickle of pus will be seen coming from middle meatus or olfactory sulcus.
3.X-ray examination and CT scanning
4.Diagnostic wash-out (proof puncture). Investigation of the maxillary air sinus can be carried out by puncture through the inferior meatus.Wash-out is a diagnostic procedure to demonstrate the contents of the maxillary sinus.

atment of acute sinusitis. It is reserved for those patients in whom improvement is not occurring and in whom pain or headache continues to be severe.
