    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Otolaryngology
    • Allergy and Immunology

    Background:

    • Nasal polyps are common in children, but underlying causes require further investigation.
    • Identifying predisposing conditions is crucial for effective management of pediatric nasal polyposis.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To determine the prevalence of allergic disease in children who underwent nasal polypectomy.
    • To identify other potential predisposing conditions associated with nasal polyps in pediatric patients.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of hospital admission cases for nasal polypectomy in patients under 18 years old over a five-year period.
    • Assessment for evidence of allergy and other predisposing conditions, including cystic fibrosis and Kartagener's syndrome.
    • Evaluation of allergic disease based on eight defined criteria.

    Main Results:

    • Two patients had cystic fibrosis, and one had Kartagener's syndrome.
    • Among the remaining 21 patients, 12 (57%) met four or more criteria for allergic disease.
    • Allergic conditions were frequently identified in children with nasal polyps.

    Conclusions:

    • Allergy is a significant causative factor in the majority of pediatric nasal polyposis cases.
    • The findings support the consideration of allergy as a primary factor in children presenting with nasal polyps.
    • Further research into the link between allergy and pediatric nasal polyposis is warranted.
