Abstract

Benign polyps of inflammatory or allergic origin are common causes of nasal obstruction. Much more infrequent and quite peculiar is the choanal polyp which has certain distinctive features of its own. As this polyp grows larger it extends into the choana filling it completely and occasionally also the nasopharynx, which accounts for the name applied to the polyp.

Diese Untersuchung umfasst ein Material von 80 Choanalpolypfällen. In den Krankcnberiehten der Ohren-, Nasen- unil Halsklinik der Universität Helsinki während der Periode 1945-1958 niaehten diese 80 Choanalpolypen nur 0,07% der Gesamtzahl der behandclten Fälle aus. Insgesamt wurden von 60 behandelten Patienten nachträgliche Berichte ermittelt. Die Bcobachtungszeit war mindestens 2 Jahre und durchschnittlich 6,5 Jahre.
