“…These findings are consistent with a study conducted in India regarding symptom duration, where most of the patients, as much as 40%, had symptom duration of one to three years. 12 Besides, it is also in accordance with other references stating that impaired mucociliary clearance and secretion reduction of antimicrobial proteins can lead to exposure to pathogens and non-pathogens as well as raise a chronic inflammatory response. 13 Chronic rhinosinusitis, which lasts for one to three years, can cause nasal polyps.…”

Background: Nasal polyps are benign chronic inflammatory masses with epithelial tissues of the nasal mucosa and paranasal sinuses. The clinical diagnosis is made based on sinonasal symptoms for more than three months and the presence of polyps in the nasal cavity. The classification of nasal polyps based on the histopathological structure is divided into three types, i.e., oedematous, eosinophilic polyps, inflammatory polyps, and chronic seromucous inflammatory polyps. This study aims to describe the profile of patients with nasal polyps at Dr. Soetomo Public Hospital Surabaya. Methods: This study applied a descriptive method with a retrospective approach by obtaining data from the medical records of the outpatient unit in the Ear, Nose, Throat, and Head-Neck (ENT-HN) Department of Dr. Soetomo Public Hospital Surabaya for the period January 2017-December 2018 based on age, gender, clinical symptoms, symptoms duration, polyp types, location of nasal polyp, and comorbidities. Results: The number of patients with nasal polyps was slightly more in women, as many as 13 patients or 52%, mostly aged 51-60 years old, amounting to 11 patients or 44%. The most common clinical symptom experienced by patients was nasal obstruction, as many as 24 patients or 96%. Patients who experienced symptom duration for one to three years before treatment amounted to 13 patients or 52%. Patients with histopathology of inflammatory nasal polyps were 19 patients or 76%, while patients of nasal eosinophil polyps were six patients or 24%. Additionally, patients with comorbidity in nasal polyps of allergic rhinitis medical history were 11 patients or 44%. Also, bilateral nasal polyps were mostly experienced by patients, reaching 14 patients or 56%. Conclusion: This study reveals nasal polyps in women aged 51-60 years with clinical symptoms of nasal obstruction with the results of a histopathological examination of the inflammation type at bilateral polyps.

Background: Nasal polyps are the edematous sinonasal mucosa prolapsing into the nasal cavity. Allergy, asthma, aspirin intolerance and fungal rhinosinusitis have been implicated in various studies. Recurrence of nasal polyposis after functional endoscopic sinus surgery is prevalent but there are no specific causes for recurrence. Intensity of relapse varies depending on multiple factors that implicated in showing characters and findings of the recurrence.Objective: To evaluate causes of nasal polyposis recurrence after FESS.Patients and method: 30 adult patients age between 18 and 60 years (with recurrent nasal polyposis after FESS) were studied in the period between March 2017 and September 2018. Assessment done for all patients by taking Medical history, documented data from the primary surgery, rhinoscopy with CT-scan examination.Results: In this study, most of nasal polyp recurrence occur in 1-3 years after primary surgery, patients using post-operative steroid showed delay in recurrence, post-operative antibiotic showed no effect on time of recurrence,patients with (asthma, allergy, aspirin sensitivity and allergic fungal rhinosinusitis) showed high lund-kennedy and lund-mackay scores and some patients had anatomical findings mainly (40% incomplete anterior ethoidectomy).Conclusions: Recurrence of nasal polyposis could occur at any age mainly in middle age group and male gender showed higher prevalence. Asthma, aspirin sensitivity (Samter's tried) and allergic fungal sinusitis were the most important associated diseases. CT-scan showed some anatomical variations like incomplete anterior and posterior ethmoidectomy which occupying the highest percentages. Post-operative steroid showed delay in time of recurrence.

Objective: To determine the risk factors associated with sino-nasal polyposis and its relationship with the exposure of occupational inhalants in patients presenting in a tertiary care hospital of Karachi. Study design and Settings: Cross-sectional study conducted at department of otorhino-laryngology Karachi Medical & Dental College and Abbasi Shaheed Hospital Karachi for a period of two and a half years from October 2015 to April 2018. Methodology: Total number of patients included for this study were 221 patients with diagnosis of bilateral and multiple nasal polyposis with age greater than 10 years. Specifically, designed proforma was used for data collection specially in relation with occupation and exposure to different occupational inhalants and entered in SPSS version 23 for analysis. Results: There were 133 male and 88 female patient with a mean age was 36.16 ± 12.33 years. Mostly patients belonged to poor socio-economic status i.e. 133 (60.70%). Allergic rhinitis or nasal allergy was the most common risk factor present in 114 patients (51.6%) while aspirin hypersensitivity was the least common risk factor present in only 19 patients (8.5%). Most of the patients (76 or 34.4%) were related with one or the other form of agriculture and were exposed to different occupational inhalants like mud, pollens, animals and plants. Conclusions: Nasal allergy is the most common risk factor and occupational inhalant specially related with agriculture, poultry and pets are the common agents responsible for nasal polyposis in our local population.
