Although choanal polyps frequently arise from the maxillary sinus, a choanal polyp originating from the inferior turbinate is a rare entity. A 14-year-old girl who had a history of bilateral nasal obstruction with snoring, mouth breathing and nasal discharge for 10 years was presented. On endoscopic examination, a polypoid mass completely obliterated the right nasal cavity. The left choana was also totally occluded by the polypoid mass. Endoscopic polypectomy was performed and it was observed that the polyp originated from the right inferior turbinate. Choanal polyps arising from the inferior turbinate should be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis of unilateral nasal polypoid masses.
虽然后鼻孔息肉常起源于上颌窦,但起源于下鼻甲的后鼻孔息肉是一种罕见的情况。本文报告了一名14岁女孩,她有双侧鼻塞伴打鼾、张口呼吸和流涕10年的病史。内镜检查时,一个息肉样肿物完全阻塞了右侧鼻腔。左侧后鼻孔也被息肉样肿物完全堵塞。进行了内镜下息肉切除术,观察到息肉起源于右下鼻甲。在单侧鼻息肉样肿物的鉴别诊断中,应考虑到起源于下鼻甲的后鼻孔息肉。
