Nasal Polyps

Background Most commonly seen in middle meatus. Eosinophil-rich oedematous wall characterised by Goblet cell hyperplasia. Uncertain pathogenesis but linked to chronic infection and inflammation, allergy AN dysfunction and genetics. Maybe single or multiple.

Incidence/Prevalance Approx 2% incidence of polyps. Rare in children and declines after 60. Males 2-4:1 Females (except Asthma 1:1) Prevalance – 1% adults – 0.1% children. No racial predilection

Associations Infective Sinusitis – Staph, Strep, Bacteroides, Pseudomonas A, C.F. – if 16 or under consider this. Polyps found in upto 48% of children with CF. Asthma – upto 50% prevalance. Kartageners, Churg-Strauss, Primary ciliary diskinesia. Not associated with Allergic Rhinitis!

Presentation Nasal airway obstruction. Watery Rhinorrhoea, Post-nasal drip. Obstructive sleep symptoms/snoring. Anosmia. Chronic mouth breathing. Samster’s Triad – polpys+asthma+aspirin sensitivity.
