“…6 Anterior rhinoscopy of the antrochoanal polyp showed a solid unilateral mass, that is bluish, sometimes yellowish, with the impression of not easily bleeding. 4,5 The anterior rhinoscopy in this case showed a polypoid, unilateral, whitish mass that was smooth with the impression of not easily bleeding. This mass filled the left cavity and caused obstruction.…”

“…Its solid, unilateral, bluish and sometimes yellowish character can be found on physical examination of the anterior rhinoscopy. 3,4 The antrochoanal polyp seen on nasoendoscopy examination appears as a smooth, yellowish or bluish-white mass in the nasal cavity extending posteriorly to the koana and nasopharynx, with stalks extending from the middle meatus. 1 Computerized tomography scan (CT-scan) is the gold standard for diagnosing antrochoanal polyp, in which a hypodense mass is enlarged and emerges from the maxillary sinus.…”

Antrochoanal polyp (ACP) are benign lesions that originate from the mucosa of the maxillary sinus, and extend into the nasal cavity to reach the choana and nasopharynx. The treatment of ACP is surgical, endoscopic medial maxillectomy (EMM) is one of the options for surgical therapy. ACP generally affects adolescents but in this case by adults. To report and analyze ACP in adult patient with EMM technique. A 45-year-old man with an ACP completely removed by EMM technique. The evidence-based literature regarding the ACP, their management, and its complications were conducted on the Pubmed Medline, PMC and Google Scholar database. Based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria, two studies were found relevant to our case. From sources in two journals, both are retrospective studies with the ACP completely removed with endoscopic medial maxillectomy technique and the other is a retrospective descriptive study. Complete ACP removal with the EMM technique. There was no complications during and after surgery and we had no recurrences during the control period.

Fungal sinusitis in an immunocompetent patient: a case report

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

<p>The frequency of fungal rhinosinusitis is increasing over the last two decades worldwide. It is classified into two main types: the invasive disease with a poor prognosis which is predominantly seen in patients with some form of immunosuppression and chronic fungal rhinosinusitis usually affecting the immunocompetent individuals. We present a case of fungal sinusitis in an immunocompetent 40-year-old male. The patient had a history of recent onset of progressive nasal blockage, discharge, and cough. Computed tomography scan of paranasal sinuses showed bilateral maxillary, left ethmoidal and sphenoidal sinusitis, and left inferior nasal turbinate hypertrophy. The sample received was necrotic slough from the nose that was processed for histopathology, and special stains, including Grocott’s Methenamine Silver and Periodic Acid Schiff were applied based on which the diagnosis of non-invasive fungal infection was made. Due to early diagnosis, the patient responded well to sinus clearance and conservative management in the clinical setting.</p>
