Abstract

Rhinitis sicca anterior is a local chronic inflammatory process that is most often limited by the areas of the anterior and caudal parts of the nasal septum and the related lateral parts of the nasal vestibule. The main etiological factor is occupational hazards and physical characteristics of the environment: inhaled air humidity and temperature. The authors also discuss the role of hyperglycemia (diabetes), endocrine disorders, hormonal alterations during pregnancy, depressive states, and recurrent acute rhinitis. The predisposing role of chronic mechanical injuries (nose pickers) is not ruled out. Along with the etiology and clinical presentations of the disease, therapy for rhinitis sicca anterior is considered in detail, by taking into account the data available in the current literature on the use of inhalation, ectoine-containing nasal sprays, irrigation treatment, and protective means.
