“…However recent scanning electron microscopy studies of nasal mucosa 6 weeks after submucosal diathermy (and cryosurgery) refute this by showing 'consid erable and widespread damage' of the mu cosa [9,11]. Cryosurgery of the inferior tur binates has been advocated in recent years [10,11,27] and one paper suggests that regeneration of healthy ciliated nasal epithe lium is a constant feature without evidence of scarring [10].…”

The results of turbinate reduction surgery carried out on 307 patients are reviewed. This is a retrospective study over 16 years. The results of submucosal diathermy with and without outfracture, partial inferior turbinectomy and linear cautery were all equally disappointing in the long term. At 1 month postoperatively the overall success rate, as defined by patient satisfaction, was 82%, but this declined steadily with time to 60% at 3 months, 54% at 1 year and 41 % at 1–16 years. There was no significant difference found in the success rates between methods of turbinate reduction used. These findings are compared with more optimistic reports in the literature and their relevance to current surgical practice is discussed.

“…Dr. William cahn 5 defined cryosurgery as branch of therapeutics that relies for its value on local tissue changes reduced by rapidly achieved very low temperature. Ozenberg 6 reported good results employing Freon as an coolant in cryosurgery. Ligezinski et al 7 used cryosurgery and found it be more useful than other conventional methods in early stages.…”

“…Various methods of treatment are avoidance of precipitating factor, desensitization or hyposensitization, specific hypoventilation, antihistamines, corticosteroids, sodium cromoglycate, gamma globulin, thyroid hormone, injections of sphenopalatine ganglion with alcohol, zinc ionization, sub mucosal injections of corticosteroids, steroid aerosol, anti-leukotrienes, oral decongestant, intranasal decongestant, intranasal anticholinergics, immunotherapy and cauterization, submucosal diathermy and cryosurgery. [12][13][14][15][16] Various methods of treatment have been advocated, each with its own limitations and degree of success. Topical antihistamines, oral antihistamines are also recommended as first-line therapy in the treatment of allergic rhinitis.…”

INTRODUCTIONThe term 'allergy', coined by von Pirquet, he proposed the term allergy, to describe a change of the living tissues, with increased or reduced sensitiveness due to the formation of specific antibodies.1 On exposure to the foreign protein the allergen combines with cell-bound reagenic antibodies to release histamine and similar amines and other factors.2 Allergy is used to define the series of events which occurs when an antigen, which is not harmful in itself, causes an immune response, leading to symptoms and disease in genetically predisposed individuals. The various manifestations of atopy and allergy are allergic rhinitis, allergic asthma, allergic conjunctivitis, allergic dermatitis, drug allergies, bee stings and urticaria/angioedema. Nasobronchial allergies i.e. asthma or rhinitis alone or asthma with rhinitis are the commonest allergic manifestations with 75.4% of patients belonging to this group. 3 Vangham and Bray stated that roughly 10% of general population is frankly allergic and 50% given history of transient episodes. 4 Allergic rhinitis is the most common allergy encountered in clinical practice and constitutes about 55% of allergies seen in India 5 .Shambough stated that at least 90% of chronic nasal infections and 70% of chronic sinus ABSTRACT Background: Nasal passages form one of the chief sources of contact of the human with his environment. Hence, it is natural that the mucosa of the area is the victim of assault with multitudes of potential allergens. Allergic rhinitis is an inflammatory disease with worldwide prevalence of 10-40%. Allergic rhinitis is a disease with low mortality but significantly lowers the quality of life and functioning. Both oral and intranasal antihistamines are approved for the first-line treatment of allergic rhinitis and both formulations result in a reduction in symptoms and an improvement in quality of life. Methods: The following study was designed to assess the efficacy and safety of the azelastine nasal spray in comparison to levocetrizine in patients with allergic rhinitis. Out of the 68 patients, 34 cases were treated with topical azelastine (group A), while remaining 34 with systemic levocetrizine (group B). The effects of anti-allergic drugs have been studied on the basis of relief of symptoms and change in histopathology. Results: The effect of levocetrizine has been studied on the basis of relief of symptoms and change in histopathology and found to have complete response in 58% and fair response in 23.5% patients of allergic rhinitis. The effect of topical azelastine nasal spray have complete response in 70.5% and fair response in 23.5% patients of allergic rhinitis. Conclusions: Comparing the post therapy clinical and histopathological results in this study, azelastine nasal spray was found to be more effective and safe in the treatment of allergic rhinitis than levocetrizine.
