A Rare Cause of Nasal Obstruction in Pediatric Patient: Sphenochoanal Polyp

Choanal polyps (CPs) are benign, solitary soft tissue masses which are seen less common compared to nasal polyps. The most common form of the choanal polyps is antrochoanal polyp. Pediatric sphenochoanal polyps are rarely published in the literature. We presented a pediatric patient with sphenochoanal polyp causing nasal obstruction. We discussed the importance of distinguishing sphenochoanal polyp from antrochoanal polyp before the surgery with a detailed review of previous case reports.
