Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is characterized by both a chronic inflammation and tissue remodelling; as indicated by extracellular matrix protein deposition, basement membrane thickening, goblet cell hyperplasia and subepithelial edema, with reduced vessels and glands. Although remodelling is generally considered to be consequence of persistent inflammation, the chronologic...

Nasal polyps are an easily recognizable clinical entity. They result from the prolapsed lining of the ethmoid sinuses and block the nose to a variable degree depending on the size. On examination polyps appear as pale bags which arise most commonly from the middle meatus and are relatively insensitive when probed. This helps to differentiate polyps from mucosa of the middle turbinate which may ...

OBJECTIVE To compare the bacteriologic findings in ethmoidal biopsy specimens and nasal lavage samples from healthy control patients and from patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) with nasal polyps (CRSNP+) and without nasal polyps (CRSNP-). DESIGN Comparative microbiologic investigation. SETTING University hospital. PATIENTS The study included 31 CRSNP+ patients, 13 CRSNP- patients,...

Antrochoanal polyps usually present unilaterally. It is defined as a polyp originating in the maxillary sinus, protruding in the middle meatus through the ethmoidal infundibulum or an accessory ostium and further extends posteriorly through the choana into the nasopharynx or in oropharynx in a few cases.

A polyp is an oedematous mucous membrane which forms a pedunculating process with a slim or broad stalk or base. Nasal polyps originate in the upper part of the nose around the openings to the ethmoidal sinuses. The polyps extend into the nasal cavity from the middle meatus, resulting in nasal blockage and restricted airflow to the olfactory region. The polyp stroma is highly oedematous with a ...
