title: Nonallergic rhinopathy (formerly known as vasomotor rhinitis).
abstract: This review focuses on the poorly understood condition of nonallergic rhinopathy (NAR) at a clinical level, with an eye on current optimal treatment. NAR is the new designation for the conditions formerly referred to as vasomotor rhinitis or nonallergic idiopathic rhinitis. The clinical characteristics and differential diagnosis are provided in detail in this review, and the disease should now be characterized sufficiently for clinical studies.
