Abstract
The resistance to airflow of each nasal passage was measured using active, posterior, rhinomanometry. Application of pressure to the axilla for 15 min by means of a wooden crutch caused a reciprocal change in nasal resistance with an ipsilateral increase and a contralateral decrease in resistance. The results are discussed in terms of reflex changes in sympathetic tone to the nasal venous erectile tissue.Mesh:
