Abstract

Background: ANTROCHOANAL POLYP (ACP) is one of the rarest nasal polyps with an unknown etiology and without relation to allergy, sinusitis or lower respiratory tract diseases. Unilateral nasal stuffiness is the most common symptom and opacification of the antrum may be seen radiographically. Patients and Methods: In this retrospective study, patients with nasal polyps who underwent operation at Khalili hospital, Shiraz, during a three-year period (1995-1997) were selected. Data were collected and analyzed statistically for age, sex, clinical and pathological findings. Results: ANTROCHOANAL POLYPs were present in 13 out of 122 patients with polyps which comprises 10.65% of the patients. The mean age of patients with ANTROCHOANAL POLYPs was 15±11 years and 34±15 years in patients with simple polyps. Both forms of polyp were more common in men. ANTROCHOANAL POLYPs were unilateral in 93 percent and were on the right side in 69.5 percent, while simple polyps were bilateral in 78 percent (p<0.001).The most common symptom in ACP was unilateral nasal stuffiness (84%). There was no association between ACP and asthma or aspirin hypersensitivity. Histopathologic studies of ACP showed inflammatory polyps in most of the cases. Conclusion: ANTROCHOANAL POLYPs have a higher PREVALENCE in our region. This type of polyp has some differences from simple polyps especially regarding PREVALENCE, pathology, pathogenesis and clinical presentation and should therefore be regarded as a separate entity.
