BILATERAL ETHMOIDAL POLYP
![Page 5: NASAL POLYPS](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081502/589a6cb71a28ab0b788b4d8b/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
AETIOLOGY
• Inflammatory conditions of nasal mucosa– Rhinosinusitis
• Disorders of ciliary motility– Kartagener’s syndrome
• Abnormal composition of nasal mucus– Cystic fibrosis
![Page 6: NASAL POLYPS](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081502/589a6cb71a28ab0b788b4d8b/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
AETIOLOGY• Various disease associated with the formation of nasal
polyps are:
– Chronic rhinosinusitis– Kartagener syndrome– Cystic fibrosis– Asthma– Aspirin tolerance– Allergic fungal sinusitis– Young syndrome– Churg-Strauss syndrome– Nasal mastocytosis
![Page 7: NASAL POLYPS](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081502/589a6cb71a28ab0b788b4d8b/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
PATHOGENESIS
Nasal mucosa becomes edematous due tocollection of ECF
polypoidal change
Sessile pedunculated (due to gravity and excessive sneezing)
![Page 8: NASAL POLYPS](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081502/589a6cb71a28ab0b788b4d8b/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
PATHOLOGY
Early stage Nasal polyp (surface covered by ciliated columnar epithelium)
Transitional & squamous epithelium
Submucosa large ICS filled with serous fluid + infiltration with eosinophils and round cells
Metaplastic change in exposure to
atmospheric irritation
![Page 9: NASAL POLYPS](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081502/589a6cb71a28ab0b788b4d8b/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
SITE OF ORIGIN
• Multiple nasal polyps always arise from the lateral wall of nose, usually from the middle meatus
• Common sites:– Uncinate process– Bulla ethmoidalis– Ostia of sinuses – Medial surface & edge of middle turbinate
![Page 10: NASAL POLYPS](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081502/589a6cb71a28ab0b788b4d8b/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
SYMPTOMS
• Mostly seen in adults• Nasal stuffiness leading to total
nasal obstruction • Partial/total loss of smell• Headache (associated sinusitis)• Sneezing and watery nasal
discharge (associated allergy)• Protruding mass
![Page 11: NASAL POLYPS](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081502/589a6cb71a28ab0b788b4d8b/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
SIGNS• On anterior rhinoscopy, polyps appear as
– Smooth, glistening– Grape-like masses– Often pale in color– May be sessile or pedunculated– Insensitive to probing– Do not bleed on touch– Often multiple and bilateral
• Broadening of nose • Increase intercanthal distance
• May protrude from the nostril and appear pink and vascular, simulating neoplasm
• Purulent discharge (associated sinusitis)
long standing case
![Page 12: NASAL POLYPS](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081502/589a6cb71a28ab0b788b4d8b/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
DIAGNOSIS
• Clinical examination
• CT scan of paranasal sinuses– exclude neoplasia– plan surgery
• Histological examination – especially in people >40 years
![Page 13: NASAL POLYPS](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081502/589a6cb71a28ab0b788b4d8b/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
TREATMENT
CONSERVATIVE• Antihistaminics & control of allergy– may revert early polypoidal changes with
oedematous mucosa to normal
• Short course steroids – in people who cannot tolerate antihistaminics or
with asthma
![Page 14: NASAL POLYPS](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081502/589a6cb71a28ab0b788b4d8b/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
TREATMENT
SURGICAL• Polypectomy• Intranasal ethmoidectomy• Extranasal ethmoidectomy• Transantral ethmoidectomy• Endoscopic sinus surgery
![Page 15: NASAL POLYPS](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081502/589a6cb71a28ab0b788b4d8b/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
ANTROCHOANAL POLYP
![Page 16: NASAL POLYPS](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081502/589a6cb71a28ab0b788b4d8b/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
SITE OF ORIGIN• Arise from the mucosa of
maxillary antrum near its accessory ostium, comes out of it, and grows in the choana and nasal cavity
• Thus, it has 3 parts:1. Antral: thin stalk2. Choanal: round and globular3. Nasal: flat from side to side
![Page 17: NASAL POLYPS](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081502/589a6cb71a28ab0b788b4d8b/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
AETIOLOGY
• Exact cause is unknown• Nasal allergy coupled with sinus infection is
incriminated• Seen in children and young adults• Usually single and unilateral
![Page 18: NASAL POLYPS](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081502/589a6cb71a28ab0b788b4d8b/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
SYMPTOMS
• Unilateral nasal obstruction
• Bilateral nasal obstruction – when polyp grows into the nasopharynx – starts obstructing the opposite choana
• Thick and dull voice – hyponasality
• Nasal discharge – mostly mucoid
![Page 19: NASAL POLYPS](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081502/589a6cb71a28ab0b788b4d8b/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
SIGNS• Anterior rhinoscopy - may be missed
as it grows posteriorly
• Large, smooth, greyish mass covered with nasal discharge
• Soft, can be moved up and down with the probe
• May protrude from nostril – shows pink, congested loop
![Page 20: NASAL POLYPS](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081502/589a6cb71a28ab0b788b4d8b/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
SIGNS• Posterior rhinoscopy– Globular mass filling the choana or the nasopharynx
– A large polyp may hang down behind soft palate and present in oropharynx
![Page 21: NASAL POLYPS](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081502/589a6cb71a28ab0b788b4d8b/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
INVESTIGATIONS
• Nasal endoscopy• May reveal choanal or antrochoanal polyp
hidden posteriorly in the nasal cavity
• Xrays of paranasal sinuses• May show opacity of the involved antrum
• Lateral view xray: • globular swelling in postnasal space • column of air behind the polyp
![Page 22: NASAL POLYPS](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081502/589a6cb71a28ab0b788b4d8b/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS1. A blob of mucus
– disappear on blowing nose
2. Hypertrophied middle turbinate – pink appearance – hard feel of bone on probe testing
3. Angiofibroma – history of profuse recurrent epistaxis– firm in consistency– easily bleed on touch
4. Neoplasms – fleshy pink appearance– friable nature– tendency to bleed)
![Page 23: NASAL POLYPS](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081502/589a6cb71a28ab0b788b4d8b/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
TREATMENT
• Avulsion (nasal/oral route)
• Recurrence is uncommon after complete removal
• In case of reccurence, Caldwell-Luc operation – Complete removal of polyp from site of origin
• Endoscopic sinus surgery is now preferred
