Mostly clinical medicine to control symptoms, is a symptomatic treatment, drug treatment for poor patients, laser treatment can be used [1]. In our hospital since 2001, the introduction of pulsed - laser treatment instrument, based on the distribution characteristics of the nasal cavity ethmoidal nerve of 50 patients with allergic rhinitis treated with pulsed - laser destruction of nasal septum before the top of the hill and the anterior ethmoid nerve endings in front of inferior turbinate mucosa, access to satisfactory results are reported as follows. 1 Data and methods 1.1 General information on 50 cases of allergic rhinitis patients, 27 males and 23 females, aged 14 to 51 years old, with an average age of 30. Diagnosis of allergic rhinitis according to diagnostic criteria and efficacy evaluation standards [2], signs and symptoms scores in six or more points, duration 2 to 10 years. Combined deviation of nasal septum in 11 cases, inferior turbinate hypertrophy in 27 cases, middle turbinate polypoid change in 7 cases. Sinus CT scan, there are some 10 cases of maxillary sinus mucosa thickening of maxillary sinus puncture normal. 1.2 Treatment after full preoperative preparation, non-surgical contraindications patient was supine, in the regular disinfection shop towel after endoscopic surgery for cavity 2% tetracaine adrenaline cotton piece of narcotic nasal mucosa 15 min, repeated two times. 1% lidocaine 15 ml in the nasal mucosa mound, the right inferior turbinate hypertrophy anesthesia. A clear deviation of nasal septum were first endoscopic nasal surgery, using pulsed - laser treatment device, the general use of energy 5 ~ 7 J, optical fiber output speed 4 to 8, the pulse
