UNTIL recently the literature has generally conveyed the impression that chronic vasomotor rhinitis is allergic in origin, relieved by antihistamines and cured by specific desensitization. General experience, however, has contradicted this and several authorities now suggest that this common and distressing disorder is in fact _primarily an expression of autonomic imbalance (Walsh, i960; Malcomson, 1959; Wilson, i960). In 1943, Fowler, reporting an unusual but significant unilateral vasomotor rhinitis following ipsilateral stellate ganglionectomy suggested that experimental surgery might uncover the fundamental mechanism of vasomotor rhinitis. It now seems reasonable to believe that this hope has been realized.
