Abstract

An antrochoanal polyp (ACP), also known as Killian’s polyp, is a solid, benign, polypoid lesionoriginating from the inflammatory mucosa of the maxillary sinus and extending into the nose,choana, and nasopharynx through the maxillary ostium. ACP is rare, and is usually seen inadults. Cystic fibrosis is an important risk factor in young patients. Although the etiologyis not completely known, allergies and sinonasal disease play an important role. The condition is usually unilateral but may also be bilateral. A 13-year-old girl presented with nasalobstruction, snoring, and episodes of obstructive sleep apnea. Examination revealed an ACP.Endoscopic sinus surgery was performed with a transoral approach to remove a giant ACPextending to the epiglottis

Özet

Antrokoanal polip (AKP) aynı zamanda Killian’ polibi olarak ta bilinir. İyi huylu, solid polipoid lezyon olup maksiller sinüsün enflamatuvar mukozasından kaynaklanır ve maksiller ostium vasıtasıyla burun içine, koanaya ve nazofarenkse uzanabilir. Antrokoanal polip nadir görülmekle birlikte çocuklarda daha da nadirdir ve kistik fibrozis, çocuklarda önemli bir risk faktörüdür. Etiyolojisi tam olarak bilinmemekle birlikte alerji ve sinonazal hastalık önemli rol oynar. Genellikle tek taraflı olup ancak nadiren iki taraflı görülebilirler. On üç yaşında AKP olan kız çocuğu bize burun tıkanıklığı, horlama ve uykuda solunum durması nöbetleriyle başvurdu. Epiglota kadar uzanan bu dev AKP olgusunda transoral yol yardımıyla endoskopik sinüs cerrahisi uygulandı.
