This is a chronic inflammation of the mucous membrane of thenasal passages affecting chiefly the turbinated bodies and occurringmost frequently during the early years of maturity. Pathology.—The mucous membrane of the middle and inferiorturbinateds, particularly the. latter, is thickened and corrugated (). The surface-epithelium is hypertrophied, sometimes extending. Fig. 44.—Hypertrophy of middle and inferior turbinate.(After Bosworth.) in a stratified form into the connective-tissue layer beneath. Thissecond layer is likewise enlarged, owing to proliferation of new tis-sue-elements, which frequently become fibrous in character. Thecavernous sinuses below, together with all the blood-vessels of themucosa, may become permanently dilated, the glandular elementslikewise being affected, the racemose glands having increased in num-bers. With all this combined hypertrophy, there is little epithelialdesquamation. In advanced stages of the disease new connective (45) 46 DISEASES OF THE NASAL PASSAGES. tissue is formed by proliferation from the old connective cells, produc-ing the want of tendency of these hypertrophies to undergo spon-
