“…There are also some evidences that nasal airflow obstruction itself may contribute to sinus disease. Experimentally, the integrity of nasal airflow has a significant effect on the maintenance of the aerobic antral environment essential to a normal sinus function [27]. Modulation of maxillary sinus gas composition by impaired nasal airflow, independently by ostial patency, might also be implicated in the decreasing humming NO increase efficiency that we observed in subjects with allergic rhinitis and incomplete nasal obstruction.…”
