09-10, 08:30–09:00 (Europe/Istanbul), Rhinology 5 + Allergy (ICC - B2 level YILDIZ 1)

<p>Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a common disease with a recent increasing in prevalence. Traditional treatment strategies of AR, sometimes, show limited effectiveness and side effects. Intranasal injection of Botulinum toxin type A (BTX-A) and multiple postganglionic parasympathectomy of pterygopalatine ganglion (PPG) are among the increasingly used alternative treatment options of AR. Both BTX-A and MSP, in patients with uncontrolled AR, may be a long-lasting therapeutic option for the treatment of nasal hypersecretions, but not as effective as for sneezing and nasal congestion.</p>
