In this clinico-pathological research, we describe the “Desert nose syndrome” which is a unique disease in populations exposed to the chronic desert environment, which leads to the slow destruction of nasal mucociliary mechanism and progressive nose block. Though the clinical presentation is similar to Rhinitis sicca Anterior, this disease has a unique clinical and endoscopic appearance.
Computed tomography of the Para-nasal sinuses is strikingly normal throughout the course of disease and pathology fully confined only to the nasal mucosa.
