This case-based panel session focuses on the workup and management of patients presenting with rhinorrhea. Following up on successful FLEX educational offerings, the panelists will work through real-world examples as they discuss how they rule out and sort through diagnoses with overlapping symptoms, prioritize treatment options for medical management, and assess candidacy for in-office procedural options. The audience can expect to solidify their understanding evidence-based strategies and treatment recommendations for the management of rhinorrhea.

Learning Objectives:

Distinguish different etiologies of rhinorrhea in the undifferentiated patient and identify the most likely diagnosis
Prioritize options for medical management using evidence-based strategies
Identify candidates for in-office procedural intervention to successfully manage this condition
