Portuguese term or phrase: crises esternutatórias
«A paciente referia crises esternutatórias.»

I have translated it as "sternutatory crises" but I am not totally sure the term 'crisis' can be applied to this symptom or there is a better term to translate the expression.

sneezing attacks
Explanation:
I couldn't find a medical term that goes with "sternutatory," though there may be one. There are over 500 references to "sneezing attack," and many are from the medical literature.

Explanation:

I'm not sure whether there's a more medical sounding term, but I don't think we use sternutatory much -

Asker: Thank you Rachel :) I might go for sneezing attacks just because 'attacks' is closer in meaning to 'crises', but I figure both 'sneezing sessions' and 'sneezing attacks' are basically the same thing.
