This syndrome is often referred to as a form of secondary atrophic rhinitis. ENS is a potential complication of nasal turbinate surgery or injury.

Nonallergic rhinitis displays symptoms including chronic sneezing or having a congested, drippy nose, without an identified allergic reaction with allergy testing being normal. [1] [2] Other common terms for nonallergic rhinitis are vasomotor rhinitis [3] [4] and perennial rhinitis. The prevalence of nonallergic rhinitis in otolaryngology is 40%.
Non-allergic rhinitis can co-exist with allergic rhinitis, and is referred to as "mixed rhinitis". [24] The pathology of vasomotor rhinitis appears to involve neurogenic inflammation [25] and is as yet not very well understood. The role of transient receptor potential ion channels on the non-neuronal nasal epithelial cells has also been suggested.

The onset is usually sudden, and there is often rhinitis. [2] Adenovirus infection can also cause adenoviral keratoconjunctivitis. [2] Typically one eye is affected after an incubation period of up to a week.

[7] It can be further categorized into: [citation needed] Non-allergic rhinitis with eosinophilia (NARES) Hormonal rhinitis (such as during pregnancy)
Allergen immunotherapy, also known as desensitization or hypo-sensitization, is a medical treatment for environmental allergies (such as insect bites) and asthma. [1] [2] Immunotherapy involves exposing people to larger and larger amounts of allergens in an attempt to change the immune system's response.
