A 55-year-old male patient, who had had complaints of nasal obstruction for a long time, was admitted to the ear-nose-throat (ENT) clinic because of increased nasal obstruction over the previous four months. Based on endoscopic examination, computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), the patient was diagnosed as having a choanal polyp originating from the right superior conch...

Ethmoid polyposis are the nasal polyps which developed from ethmoidal sinuses located between nose and eyes. Usually it is allergic in nature can be multiple, grape like masses. The estimated ethmoid prevalence India 4%. In this case study, a 61 year old female patient was admitted with complaints of severe block since approximately 6 months.

Isolated sphenoid pathology is uncommon. Nasal polyps that originate from the anterior wall of the sphenoid sinus and reach the nasopharynx are called sphenochoanal polyps. The atypical location of sphenochoanal polyps leads to misdiagnosis, and surgery risks injuring the surrounding structures, such as the optic nerve, carotid artery, and brain. For the differential diagnosis of sphenochoanal ...

UNLABELLED Contemporary cohort cross-sectional study. INTRODUCTION Despite its importance for an accurate diagnosis, histology differences among nasal polyps and its clinical implications are rarely reported in the literature. The existing papers classify polyp samples without concern for prior treatments, which could influence the results attained. AIMS carry out a morphological study, thr...

Nasal polyposis is characterized by persistent inflammation and remodeling in sinonasal mucosa. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) play a role in the innate immune response to microbes in the sinonasal cavity. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether nasal polyp-derived fibroblasts (NPDFs) and organ-cultured nasal polyps can synthesize pro-inflammatory cytokines and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs...

Antrochoanal polyps usually present with nasal obstruction. An exceptional case is described occurring in an elderly patient with sudden laryngeal dyspnoea and stridor due to an antrochoanal polyp. The symptoms were so serious that an emergency surgical procedure was mandatory. A 14 cm antrochoanal polyp was excised in toto in endoscopy through the right nostril.

Aim: How to diagnose and treat haemangioma. Methods: History, Clinical examination, X-ray PNS and post operative histological examination showed haemangioma. All the patients were presented with history of unilateral epistaxis and unilateral nasal obstruction. X-ray studies, post operative follow up and histological examination was performed in all cases. Results: We operated upon eleven cases,...

BACKGROUND Recent consensus statements demonstrate the breadth of the chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) differential diagnosis. However, the classification and mechanisms of different CRS phenotypes remains problematic. METHOD Statistical patterns of subjective and objective findings were assessed by retrospective chart review. RESULTS CRS patients were readily divided into those with (50/99) an...

The nose is an uncommon site for head and neck paraganglioma. The diagnosis is seldom established pre-operatively; its rarity, infrequent functionality and often benign biologic outcome underlie this fact. We present one such case in a 60-year-old man who presented with right nasal obstruction and episodic epistaxis. Rhinoscopy revealed a fleshy polypoid mass arising from the anterior cartilagi...

It is often considered that where nasal obstruction can be attributed to the presence of nasal polyps that the diagnostic process is at an end. The fact that the majority of simple nasal polyps are benign reinforces this view. Linked with this, the fact that the majority of serving soldiers are healthy, may lead the unwary into not suspecting some of the other types of nasal polyp.
