Abstract
Chronic refractory vasomotor rhinitis (VMR) is a debilitating condition that causes significant impairment of quality of life. The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy and potential side effects of endoscopic vidian neurectomy as treatment for patients with VMR. This study was a prospective, intent-to-follow case series. Inclusion criteria were as follows: (1) patients with debilitating VMR refractory to medical therapy and with significant impact on quality of life; (2) negative allergy history and skin testing; and (3) negative computed tomography (CT) scan to rule out skull-base defect or cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) fistula. Patients underwent bilateral vidian neurectomy via a pterygomaxillary approach. Prior to surgery all patients underwent formal ophthalmologic testing to quantify preoperative ocular and lacrimal function. Ophthalmologic testing was repeated postoperatively at approximately 3 months. Patients also completed surveys regarding rhinologic outcomes including the Sinusitis Symptom Questionnaire (SSQ) and the 22-item Sino-Nasal Outcome Test (SNOT-22) at the following time points: preoperatively, and 1 week, 4 weeks, 12 weeks, 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years postsurgery. Descriptive statistics and an...Continue Reading
