1. Definition

Nasal polyps are soft, painless, noncancerous growths in the lining of the nasal passages or sinuses. They are often associated with chronic inflammation and can lead to nasal blockage, breathing difficulty, reduced sense of smell, and frequent infections.

2. Types

• Antrochoanal Polyp – Single, usually arises from maxillary sinus and extends into the nasal cavity.

   

• Ethmoidal Polyps – Multiple, bilateral, arising from the ethmoidal sinuses; more common in adults.

   

3. Causes

• Chronic Sinusitis – Long-standing inflammation is the most common cause.

   

• Allergic Rhinitis & Asthma – Associated with hypersensitivity reactions.

   

• Aspirin Sensitivity – In some patients, polyps develop along with asthma and aspirin intolerance.

   

• Recurrent Infections – Weakens nasal mucosa, predisposing to polyps.

   

• Immune Imbalance – Overactive immune response causing mucosal overgrowth.

   

• Genetic Factors – Family history may increase risk.
