Rhinopharyngoscopy for the evaluation of allergic-immunologic disorders

We have developed fiberoptic rhinopharyngoscopy as an important procedure for the evaluation of allergic and immunologic disorders. The procedure is useful for office practice, well tolerated and without serious complications. This paper outlines the technique for fiberoptic rhinopharyngoscopy, the pathology which can be identified, instruments available and our experience in nearly 100 patients.
