Özet

Background: Choanal polyps constitute 3-6 % of all nasal polyps and are lesions which usually originate from the mucosa of the maxillary sinus and have a solitary growth pattern. Polyps originating from the sphenoid sinus are rarely seen and are known as sphenochoanal polyps. Surgical treatment of the sphenochoanal polyps is its complete excision together with the pedicle and the portion inside the sphenoid sinus.
