Antrochoanal polyps are common in children without cystic fibrosis. Surgical removal is safe and effective, though endoscopic procedures may have a higher recurrence rate.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Pediatric Surgery

Background:

  • Antrochoanal polyps are a common pediatric sinonasal polyp type in children without cystic fibrosis.
  • Nasal obstruction is the primary symptom, with rhinorrhea and snoring also frequent.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To define antrochoanal polyps in children.
  • To evaluate surgical treatment outcomes and recurrence rates.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 25 pediatric patients (aged ≤17) diagnosed with antrochoanal polyps between 1970-1997.
  • Analysis of surgical techniques including intranasal avulsion, Caldwell-Luc, and endoscopic procedures.

Main Results:

  • All patients presented with nasal obstruction; 64% had nasopharyngeal masses.

  • Seven patients (29%) experienced recurrence, with higher rates after endoscopic procedures.
  • Complications were infrequent, including bleeding and facial paresthesias.

    • Conclusions:

    • Surgical treatment for pediatric antrochoanal polyps is safe and effective.
    • Endoscopic removal may be associated with an increased risk of recurrence.
