Rhinorrhea triggered by an obturator prosthesis: a clinical report.
This clinical report describes an unusual cause of nasal leakage in a patient with an obturator prosthesis who had previously undergone a maxillectomy. The diagnosis of gustatory rhinorrhea was determined by eliminating other possible causes of rhinitis. Gustatory rhinorrhea has been described as a complication of a maxillectomy.
