“…This results in rhinorrhea and other gustatory rhinitis symptoms, such as tear secretion, perspiration and facial flush. The role of muscarinic receptors is supported by the finding that pretreatment with atropine can inhibit symptoms [40,41].…”

The population of Americans over 65 years of age is growing at an unprecedented rate. Rhinitis is a common and burdensome complaint in this group, and physicians should be aware of the diagnosis and management of the disease. Geriatric rhinitis is a nasal disorder of older persons that presents with a constellation of nasal symptoms. The etiologies of this condition include both inflammatory diseases and the effects of aging on physiology of the upper airway. Possible causes include allergic rhinitis, nonallergic rhinitis (vasomotor rhinitis and gustatory rhinitis), adverse effects of medications, hormonal changes, postnasal drip syndrome, chronic rhinosinusitis and atrophic rhinitis. Nasal symptoms in the older patient present a clinical challenge because of the physiologic effects of the aging nose, the unusual clinical presentation, the presence of multiple comorbidities and the problem of polypharmacy. A number of therapeutic options exist for this disorder, although definitive studies of effective regimens are needed.

“…These are congenital or acquired (posttraumatic or postsurgical) conditions, in which a sensory gustatory input is followed by a normal physiological salivary reflex as well as an abnormally strong sensory-parasympathetic reflex involving parasympathetic innervation (of the nasal mucosa -in the case of gustatory rhinitis) [6,7,[11][12][13]. This group includes Frey's syndrome or gustatory sweating, 'crocodile tear syndrome' or gustatory lacrimation, and gustatory otorrhoea.…”

“…Intranasal atropine and intranasal oxitropium bromide are also proven to be effective; however, they have more side-effects and their use is not routinely recommended [2 & ,3,4,29,42]. Ipratropium should be used prophylactically, just prior to the intake of the offending food [4,7,38,42]. The combination of ipratropium bromide and an intranasal corticosteroid is more effective than either drug alone [4].…”

Gustatory rhinitis is a conspicuous type of food-associated rhinorrhea, which can occasionally be associated with significant quality-of-life impairment. It results from an abnormal gustatory reflex associated with a hyperactive, nonadrenergic, noncholinergic, or peptidergic neural system. The use of nasal ipratropium bromide may be effective, if avoidance is not possible or successful. We have had excellent results with the use of intranasal capsaicin or endoscopic vidian neurectomy (including removal of 4-5 mm of the nerve between pterygopalatine fossa and the sphenoid floor) in patients with nonallergic rhinitis, and these could potentially be used as a last resort in patients with intractable gustatory rhinitis.
