Nasal polyps�are polypoidal masses arising mainly from the mucous membranes of the nose and�paranasal sinuses lining the inside of the large air spaces that exist in the bones of the face (the sinuses) or of the nose.

Nasal polyps are usually classified into antrochoanal polyps and ethmoidal polyps. Antrochoanal polyps arise from the maxillary sinuses and are much less common; an ethmoidal polyp arises from the ethmoidal sinuses.�Antrochoanal polyps�are usually single and unilateral whereas ethmoidal polyps are multiple and bilateral. Sometimes polyps are caused by allergy or infection.

The polyps in the nose obstruct in smooth breathing. These sometimes block the sinuses and cause sinus infections. In certain cases it blocks the gland which gives the sense of smell. The chances of a sinus getting infected are reduced and one is able to breathe through the nose more comfortably after removing the polyps.

Cause

Allergy, Chronic sinusitis and Chronic inflammation of indeterminate etiology are the main cause of nasal polyps.

The polyps are removed using�endoscopic surgery�and the procedure takes approximately 45 minutes�to 1 hour.

Recovery from this type of surgery is anywhere from one to three weeks. Pre-post surgery, sinus rinses with warm water mixed with a small amount sodium chloride & sodium bicarbonate can be very helpful to clear the sinuses. This method can be also used as a preventative measure to discourage the polyps from growing back and should be used in combination with a�nasal steroid.
