  2. There are two types of nasalpolyp • Antrochoanal • Ethmoidal

  3. Antrochoanaltype  It arises from the maxillary antrum and grows backwards in to nosetowardsthechoanaandnasalcavityrichesthenasopharynx .

  4. Ethmoidal • They are multiple bilateral and arises from numerous ethmoidal sinuses. • It is very commonlyfound

  5. Etiology • ANTROCHOANALPOLYP- • Exact cause is notknown. • AGE: usually it occurs in children and youngadults. • NUMBER: usually it issingle. • INFECTION and ALLERGY may result in ANTROCHOANAl POLYP.

  6. ETHMOIDALPOLYP • AGE; ethmoidal polyps occurs at anyage • SEX: both sexes are equallyaffected • PREDISPOSINGFACTOTRS: • Allergy • Vasomotor • Infection • Mixedinfection

  7. Polysaccharidechanges Bernouillis phenomenon: when air passes through a narrow area in the nose negativre pressure develops in the viscinity in the paranasal sinuses leading to increased formation of tissue fluids this may encourage polyp formation.

  8. Asthma can be associated with ethmoidalpolyp. Aspirinsensitivity

  9. Pathology • Antrochoanal polyp • Macroscopic :antral part : arise from maxillaryantrum. • Mucosa:oedamatous • Nasal part: arise from hiatus semilunaris in nose and reaches thechoana

  10. Pharyngeal part :enters the naso pharynx throughchoana. • ETHMOIDALPOLYP: • Arised from mucosa ethmoidal sinuses and hang down in the nasal cavity.

  12. Microscopic • Mucous membrane: metaplastivchanges. • Polyp: ulcerated orprotruded • Submucoasaltissue:oedamtoius. • Cellular infiltrationoccurs • Polyp is avascular and painless • Blood vessels and nerves supplyscanty

  13. DIAGRAM OF NASALPOLYPI

  14. Clinicalfeatures • Blocking ofnose • Sneezing • Dischargerclear • Expansion ofnose • Anosmia • Snoring and mouthbreathing • headache

  15. Epiphora • Postnasaldischarge • Speech:hyponasal

  16. Signs • External nose: Frog like appearance “BROADNOSE” • Anterior rhinoscopy: • antrochonal :rarelyvisible • Ethmoidal:multiple like n bunch ofgrapes • Posteriorrhinoscopty • Antrochoanal :large visible like pearshaped • Ethmoidal :fairly visible and growslowly

  17. Investigation • Nasal secretion : culture and sensitivitytest • Radiography test of nose andsinuses. • Ct scan of nose and par nasal sinuses. • Biopsy ofpolyp

  18. DIFFERENTIALDIAGNOSIS • Hypertrophicturbinate's • Rhinospordiosis • Malignancy • Angioma • Adenods • Nasopharangealangiofibroma • Nasophrangealmalignancy • Glioma • menegiocle

  19. Treatment • antrochoanal polyp:conservative • nasaldecongestant • anrttibiotics • surgical:polypectomy • sinoscopy • cold weellluc-operation

  20. ETHOMOIDALPOLYP • conservative:antihistamine • steroids • antibioticsxecongesatant • surgical:polypectomy • ethmoidectomy • sinoscopy

  21. HOMOEOPATHICTREATMENT • calc.carb • kreosotum • phosphorus • hamamelis

  22. DNS • deviated nasalseptum: • defination:deviation of the septum occurs very frquentlybut it requires treatment only if it producessymptoms

  23. ETIOLOGY • AGE:puberty • upto 20yrs • sex :bothsexes • hereditoyry • developmentalcause • high archedpalate • congenital

  24. trauma secondary :tumor mass polyp

  25. PATHOLOGY • deviation • spurs • thickening • dislocation • c-shaped or s shapeddeviation • hypertrophy ofturbinates

  26. SYMPTOMS • asypmtomatic • blocking ofnose • vacuumheadache • neuralgicheadche • recurrentcold • epistaxis • anosmia • deformity

  27. INVESTIGATION • examination ofnose • anteriorrhinoscopy • posteriorrhinoscopy • radiography of face ornose

  28. COMPLICATION • recurrent sinusitis • middle earinfection • mouthbreathing • asthma • atrophicrhinitis

  29. DIFFERENTIALDIAGNOSIS hypertrophicturbinates polyp septalhaematoma

  30. HAEMATOMA

  31. TREATMENT SMR(submucosal resection of nasalseptum) septoplasty

  32. HOMOEOPATHICTREATMENT • ars.alb • aconite • thuja
