The management of neonatal rhinitis.
Life-threatening upper airway obstruction secondary to neonatal rhinitis is a rare and poorly understood condition. Despite potential lethal effects, there has been no basic scientific research investigating the nature of this curious condition. This paper retrospectively reviews 8 patients suffering from neonatal rhinitis. Both the medical and surgical management of neonatal rhinitis and possible aetiological factors involved are discussed. Increasing clinical awareness of this condition may, therefore, serve as inspiration for future research of both an epidemiological and basic scientific nature.
