Sphenochoanal polyposis

The reports of sphenochoanal polyps in the literature are relatively rare. Computed tomography and nasal endoscopy contribute in diagnosis of sphenochoanal polyps. Simple polypectomy which partialy leaves a polyp inside the sphenoid sinus increases the risk of a relapse. Using powered instrument-assisted endoscopic sinus surgery we surgically removed sphenochoanal polyp in a ten year old boy. We wide opened the orifice of sphenoid sinus and removed the cystic polyp part from sphenoid sinus. At the annual follow-up examination, this patient remains free of signs of polyp recurrence.
