Atrophy is the medical term for shrinkage in the size of an organ, tissue, or a single cell with a corresponding decrease or failure of their function. Rhinitis atrophica simplex is one of the diseases associated with the development of such involutional processes. Atrophic rhinitis is a disease that is a classic example of a chronic pathological process that can be diffuse or local and can be combined with atrophic changes in the nasopharynx and other parts of the pharynx and larynx.
