Overview
Rhinitis is a very common disease that is frequently overlooked or undertreated.[1] It is associated with several comorbidities which can have significant impact on the quality of life. It can also be the initial presentation of overt systemic illnesses which can be potentially fatal.[2] It is important to differentiate rhinitis from other conditions micmicking the symptoms of rhinitis.
Differential Diagnosis
The following conditions can present with symptoms that are similar to those found in rhinitis:[3][4][5][6]
- Nasal polyps
- Mechanical/structural factors such as:
- Deviated nasal septum/septal wall anomalies
- Adenoidal hypertrophy
- Nasal tumors (benign and malignant)
- Foreign bodies
- Trauma
- Anatomical variants in the ostiomeatal complex
- Choanal atresia
- Cleft palate
- Pharyngeal reflux (laryngopharyngo-nasal reflux)
- Metabolic conditions such as acromegaly
- Cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea
- Ciliary dyskinesia syndrome
