[Study of the changes in microcirculatory bed in children with vasomotor rhinitis based on biomicroscopy of conjunctival blood vessels].

Thirty-eight patients with vasomotor rhinitis, aged 6 to 15 years, were examined by means of biomicroscopy of eyeball conjunctiva vessels. As a result, the following microcirculatory disorders were detected: vessel enlargement, diameter nonuniformity, pathological convolution and red blood cell aggregation. Patients with allergic lesions showed most significant structural changes. The prevalence of functional changes over structural ones in the eyeball conjunctiva of children with neurogenic vasomotor rhinitis can be used as a differential diagnostic indicator.
