[The role of neurovegetative disturbances in the clinical picture and treatment of vasomotor rhinitis].

Sixty four patients of different age groups having vasomotor rhinitis underwent submucous vasotomy of inferior nasal turbinates combined with mucosal biopsy. Neuromorphological studies have demonstrated mucosal desympathization especially pronounced in the patients aged between 51 and 70 years. Comparative evaluation of the efficacy of surgical and conservative (dimephosphon therapy) treatment of vasomotor rhinitis was conducted.
