What Causes The Inability To Complete A Reflex Sneeze?

Does not seem to be related to neurological conditions.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for using HealthcareMagic.
I have read your question and understand your concerns.
In rare cases, sneezing sensation may be linked to cerebrospinal fluid leak through bones and brain coverings defects, but this mainly happens after head trauma, and other symptoms such evident leakage, salty feeling in nostrils, are evident.
Since you don't have any other symptoms, and ENT evaluation didn't find anything wrong that may cause you to have sneezing sensation, I don't think it is caused by any neurological condition.
Allergies should be taken into consideration in such cases.
Please discuss with your Doctor about getting evaluated about possible allergies and diagnostic tests (pin prick tests) to identify the cause.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care.


You shouldn't worry much more than necessary.
Detailed Answer:
Welcome back.
Brain lesions that impair sneeze reflex, always are accompanied by other symptoms and neurological signs, so, since you don't have any other issues, you shouldn't worry about.
Again, since there are no other symptoms, inability to sneeze may be of psychological origin, since you are paying too much attention to it.
You shouldn't worry much more than necessary.
Hope I helped you.
Kind regards.


Get evaluated about allergies.

As we discussed before, an evaluation and tests about possible allergies should be carried out.
