A rare case of bilateral antrochoanal polyps in a child was successfully treated with the Caldwell-Luc operation. Histopathology confirmed the benign inflammatory nature of these nasal polyps.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Antrochoanal polyps are typically unilateral and originate from the maxillary sinus.
  • Bilateral presentation is exceptionally rare, particularly in otherwise healthy pediatric patients.

Observation:

  • A 12-year-old girl presented with an extremely rare instance of bilateral antrochoanal polyps.
  • The condition affected both maxillary sinuses, despite the patient being otherwise healthy.

Findings:

  • Surgical excision of the bilateral antrochoanal polyps was performed using the Caldwell-Luc operation.
  • Histopathological analysis revealed the polyps to be of a benign inflammatory origin, with no evidence of malignancy.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of considering rare presentations of common sinonasal pathologies in children.
  • The successful surgical outcome underscores the efficacy of the Caldwell-Luc procedure for treating bilateral antrochoanal polyps.
  • Further research into the etiology of rare bilateral sinonasal polyps may be warranted.
