Abstract

ABSTRACT Nasal polyps are mostly referred to antrochoanal polyps and a sphenoid polyp is as such a rare entity. Computerized tomography and nasal endoscopy have contributed to an increase of accuracy in the diagnosis of these masses. Simple polypectomy that leaves some part of the polyp inside the sphenoid sinus carries a high risk of recurrence. Destructive external approaches to gain access to the sphenoid sinus are also not advisable in children for a benign disease. We present here a case of sphenochoanal polyp arising from right side sphenoid sinus. The sphenoid sinus disease is very rare and can be well-managed with endoscopic sinus surgery.
