What are nasal polyps?
Nasal polyps are smooth-surfaced, fleshy masses extending into the nasal cavity. They may arise from the Maxillary sinuses, wherein they are termed as Antrochoanal polyps (ACP) or they may arise from the ethmoid sinuses, when they are termed as ethmoidal polyps. ACP’s are usually a single mass and unilateral whereas ethmoidal polyps are multiple and found in both the nasal cavities. Nasal polyps are easily diagnosed on general head light ENT examination. A CT scan confirms the diagnosis and provides more details of the affected sinuses. It helps in planning the treatment.
