1. OTHER DISEASES OF URT

2. INTRODUCTION
 Allergic rhinitis, also known as hay fever, is a type
of inflammation in the nose which occurs when
the immune system overreacts to allergens in the
air.
 Vasomotor rhinitis
Rhinitis is an inflammation of the membranes
inside the nose. Irritants or allergens can cause this
inflammation.

3.  There are also times when there’s no specific
cause for the inflammation. Other names for this
condition are no allergic rhinitis and idiopathic
rhinitis.
 Chronic rhinitis is a chronic inflammation
of nose characterized by atrophy of nasal
mucosa, including the glands, turbinate
bones and the nerve elements supplying the
nose.

4.  Chronic sinusitis By definition it lasts longer than
three months and can be caused by many
different diseases that share chronic inflammation
of the sinuses as a common symptom.
 Chronic sinusitis cases are subdivided into cases
with polyps and cases without polyps.
 When polyps are present, the condition is called
chronic hyperplastic sinusitis

5.  Nasal polyp are non cancerous growths within
the nose or sinuses. Symptoms include trouble
breathing through the nose, loss of smell,
decreased taste, post nasal drip, and a runny
nose.
 Deviated nasal septum is a physical disorder of
the nose, involving a displacement of the nasal
septum.

6.  Adenoid hypertrophy (or enlarged adenoids) is
the unusual growth ("hypertrophy") of
the adenoid tonsil.
 laryngospasm is an uncontrolled/involuntary
muscular contraction (spasm) of the vocal folds.
