Abstract
|
|
|
Sphenochoanal polyp is a rare entity which originates in the sphenoid sinus and extends into the choana via the
ostium. It may be confused with an antrochoanal polyp on anterior rhinoscopy. Computerized tomography and
nasal endoscopy have contributed to an increase of accuracy in the diagnosis of these lesions. Simple avulsion
of the choanal polyp is associated with a high risk of recurrence. Recurrences can be prevented by total excision
of the polyp inside the sinus under the endoscopic guidance. We present a case of sphenochoanal polyp in a 5
year old child that was removed by endonasal endoscopic approach.
