Résumé

Pregnancy can induce significant upper airway distress in women by the induction of rhinitis of pregnancy (ROP). Pregnancy can also exacerbate underlying rhinopathies. Little is known regarding the pathophysiology of the ROP. Diagnosis of other coexistent rhinopathies is key. Treatment regimens closely mirror standard treatments for other rhinopathies that are independent of pregnancy and are generally accepted as safe. Early recognition of the progression of rhinitis in the pregnant patient into complications of rhinosinusitis is important to prevent harm to both mother and fetus.
