ABSTRACT

Antrochoanal polyp is a mucosal polyp protruding from a choana and may be clinically in the nasopharynx. The antrochoanal polyp typically and classically arises from maxillary antrum. Only rarely has an origin other than the maxillary sinus been reported.

Because antrochoanal polyp is the most common polyp in children, intranasal snare and avulsion has been used chiefly, but the high recurrence rate makes some troubles.

In this study, anterior wall osteoplastic approach and excision of only that mucosa around the site of the stalk with sinus endoscope was performed in 12 patients.

So we could take down the recurrence rate, nearly zero.
