Abstract

Atrophic rhinitis is a chronic inflammatory disease of the nose. The aetiology of primary atrophic rhinitis is not yet known, although secondary atrophic rhinitis is known to be associated with chronic granulomatous diseases such as tuberculosis and leprosy. The authors report a case of atrophic rhinitis, which was a presenting feature of a rare genetic disorder known as Christ-Siemens-Touraine syndrome, also known as anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia.
