AB  - Rhinitis medicamentosa, the syndrome of rebound nasal congestion secondary to prolonged topical intranasal use of vasoconstrictors, is reviewed.

Management consists of withdrawing the offending nasal spray and alleviating the nasal obstruction by means of any of several treatment modalities.
