What are nasal polyps? Endoscopic Video Views of Nasal Polyps.

This patient has bilateral nasal polyps.  Nasal polyps are soft, fleshy masses which grow in the sinus outflow tracts and hang into the nose.  These benign growths triggered by inflammation inside the nose and sinuses often cluster together and look like a "bunch of grapes."  Nasal polyps have been associated with chronic sinusitis, allergic rhinitis, cystic fibrosis, allergic fungal sinusitis, aspirin sensitivity triad and asthma.  Any patient with an abnormal growth inside the nose should be evaluated by an otolaryngologist to rule out cancer.  The polyps in this patient were removed with the assistance of a microdebrider (powered dissector).
