Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Pediatric Surgery

Background:

  • Choanal polyps are typically found in adults.
  • Pediatric choanal polyps are rare and can present diagnostic challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present four pediatric cases of choanal polyps with unusual patient demographics and polyp origins.
  • To discuss the diagnostic and surgical complexities associated with these rare pediatric cases.

Main Methods:

  • Case series presentation of four pediatric patients diagnosed with choanal polyps.
  • Review of patient demographics, polyp origin, diagnostic methods, and surgical outcomes.

Main Results:

  • Four children, including two young boys (3y 9m, 4y 6m) and two older girls (9y, 10y), were diagnosed with choanal polyps.

  • Unusual polyp origins included the sphenoid sinus and inferior turbinate.
  • Patient age and polyp location complicated diagnosis, endoscopic sinus surgery, and postoperative care.

    • Conclusions:

    • Pediatric choanal polyps can occur in a wider age range than previously thought.
    • Unusual origins necessitate careful endoscopic evaluation and tailored surgical approaches.
    • Management of pediatric choanal polyps requires specialized pediatric otolaryngology expertise.
