Antrochoanal polyps are benign lesions arising from the maxillary sinus mucosa. The most common patient complaint is unilateral nasal obstruction. Nasal endoscopy and computed tomography are the gold standard modalities for diagnosis. Treatment is surgical. We report the case of a 19-year-old female suffering from a huge antrochoanal polyp who went to hospital following a choking episode. While being prepared for surgery, she vomited, and the polyp was expelled from her mouth. Right maxillary sinus antrostomy was done to remove the polyp base to avoid recurrence.
上颌窦后鼻孔息肉是起源于上颌窦黏膜的良性病变。最常见的患者主诉是单侧鼻塞。鼻内镜检查和计算机断层扫描是诊断的金标准方法。治疗方法为手术治疗。我们报告一例19岁女性患者，患有巨大上颌窦后鼻孔息肉，因窒息发作入院。在准备手术时，她呕吐，息肉从口中排出。进行了右上颌窦开窗术以切除息肉根部，避免复发。
