Abstract
Sneezing is usually the physiologic response to nasal irritation but intractable paroxysmal sneezing is very uncommon. Majority of cases of intractable sneezing are reported among adolescents and are psychogenic in origin. We report two adolescent girls with intractable paroxysmal sneezing in whom the removal of psychogenic stressors resulted incomplete remission.
