ABSTRACT Choanal polyp is the term used for benign, solitary soft tissue mass which extend toward the junction of nasal cavity and nasopharynx, i.e. choana. We report a rare case of choanal polyp arising from the middle turbinate and its successful treatment by endoscopic surgery. The complete resection of choanal polyp at the site of origin using an endoscope is usually sufficient and carries good prognosis without recurrence. How to cite this article Gupta M, Singh S.

AbstractOsteomas are common benign tumours of the paranasal sinuses, but are usually asymptomatic and found as a coincidental finding during routine radiological investigations. We present a case report of a patient with an isolated osteoma of the middle turbinate presenting with unilateral nasal obstruction which required removal via a lateral rhinotomy approach. The aetiology, pathology and presenting features of these tumours are reviewed and their subsequent management discussed. In particular, adequate pre-operative radiological assessment to determine involvement of the cribriform plate region by computerized axial tomography (CAT Scanning) is emphasized since this may indicate the need for a cranio-facial surgical approach rather than a lateral rhinotomy to achieve complete removal.

AbstractObjective:We report two extremely rare cases of polyps from unilateral accessory middle turbinates, one of which coexisted with a polyp from an inferomedially projecting, pneumatised, secondary middle turbinate.Methods:Case report and literature review concerning accessory middle turbinate and secondary middle turbinate.Results:Two patients presented with unilateral nasal obstruction. In both patients, nasal endoscopy revealed polypoid masses originating from the middle meatus. Paranasal sinus computed tomography and histopathological analysis confirmed the presence of polyps originating from an accessory middle turbinate and secondary middle turbinate, which were resected uneventfully via endoscopic sinus surgery.Conclusion:To our knowledge, this is the first report in the world literature of polyps originating from a unilateral accessory middle turbinate and secondary middle turbinate. Pre-operative recognition of these rare anatomical variations is of particular importance in avoiding intra-operative complication.

<p class="abstract"><span lang="EN-IN">Fungus is a rare cause of rhinosinusitis in children. Its incidence has been reported as ranging between 13.5 and 28%. Fungus balls are extramucosal tangled masses of fungal hyphae. It commonly involves just one paranasal sinus. Most commonly maxillary sinus is involved and occasionally sphenoid sinus. Concha bullosa is one of the most common anatomical variations in the nasal cavity, with a frequency of reporting ranging from 14-53.6%. There are very few case reports in which Concha bullosa was affected with fungus ball. In this case report 13 years female child presented with complaints of swelling right cheek. The patient underwent endoscopic sinus surgery and there was involvement of concha bullosa and sphenoid sinus with fungus ball. Fungus was confirmed on microscopic examination and culture. Fungus ball is a rare presentation of fungal rhinosinusitis. It should be considered in enlarged middle turbinate with heterogenous opacity on CT. The diagnosis should be confirmed by microscopy or culture.</span></p>

<p class="abstract">Choanal polyp arising from the sphenoid sinus and presenting at the choana are rare. These are known as sphenochoanal polyp. We present a case of sphenochoanal polyp and its clinical features and surgical management is discussed. Our aim in this case was to properly delineate the origin of the polyp and differentiate it from other lesions such as the antrochoanal polyp and meningocele, followed by meticulous endoscopic excision of the polyp. Radiological investigations include a CT scan paranasal sinuses or a MRI diagnostic nasal endoscopy will confirm the diagnosis. Once the diagnosis is made surgical removal must be done<span lang="EN-IN">.</span></p>
