Sphenochoanal polyps, rare growths from the sphenoid sinus, can be challenging to diagnose. Endoscopic surgery offers a safe and effective treatment for children, preventing recurrence.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Rhinology

Background:

  • Sphenochoanal polyps are rare sinonasal masses originating from the sphenoid sinus.
  • They can mimic antrochoanal polyps on anterior rhinoscopy, complicating diagnosis.
  • Accurate diagnosis relies on advanced imaging like computerized tomography and nasal endoscopy.

Observation:

  • Two pediatric cases of sphenochoanal polyps were treated.
  • The endonasal endoscopic approach was utilized for surgical removal.
  • Post-operative follow-up periods were 28 and 18 months.

Findings:

  • The endonasal endoscopic approach provided complete symptom resolution in both patients.
  • No complications were observed during or after the surgical procedures.

  • Recurrence of the sphenochoanal polyps was not noted during the follow-up periods.

    • Implications:

    • The endonasal endoscopic approach is a viable and safe surgical option for pediatric sphenochoanal polyps.
    • This minimally invasive technique avoids the risks associated with destructive external approaches in children.
    • Successful surgical management can lead to long-term symptom relief and prevent disease recurrence.
