Sphenochoanal polyps are rare types of nasal polyps that originate from
the sphenoid sinus or ostium and extend towards the nasopharynx. The
deep origin of the polyp contributes to the varied presentation and
delayed identification of the disease. This report aims to present a
case of sphenochoanal polyp in a Filipino male adult who presented with
unilateral nasal congestion of 3 years duration. Diagnostics include
nasal endoscopy and paranasal sinus (PNS) CT scan while the treatment of
choice is polypectomy and endoscopic sinus surgery. |
