title: [Rhinomanometry: indications, limitations and results].
abstract: The aim of this study was to present briefly the different techniques for measurement of nasal resistance and to show the importance that we attribute to this measurement. Within the framework of the allergological investigation rhinamometry is a parameter that allows evaluation of the results of allergenic nasal provocation. Nasal provocation is in the framework as a complementary examination that is often indespensable to confirm with most possible certainty the involvement of an allergen in the ORL pathology. Positive etiological diagnosis is a fundamental basis for therapeutic advice.
