Abstract
Five cases of rhinogenic neuritis retrobulbaris were treated at our clinic. Three of the five cases were patients whose conditions were complicated by allergy neuritis, and it was suspected that an allergy may cause rhinogenic neuritis retrobulbaris. In these cases, we soon started conservative treatment. If the symptomes did not improve but went from bad to worse or occurred suddenly, it was imperative to terminate the conservative treatment and to proceed with an operation at once. It was also necessary to call in an ophthalmologist.
