Clin Case Rep. 2025 Dec 15;13(12):e71669. doi: 10.1002/ccr3.71669. eCollection 2025 Dec.

Abstract

Ultrasound-guided sphenopalatine ganglion block presents a promising, minimally invasive intervention for patients with drug-refractory allergic rhinitis. This case demonstrates its potential to achieve significant symptom relief and quality-of-life improvement with a favorable safety profile, offering an alternative when conventional pharmacotherapy fails.
