Nasal polyps: pathogenesis and treatment implications

Michael A DeMarcantonio et al. Otolaryngol Clin North Am. 2011 Jun.

Abstract

Nasal polyps (NPs) represent a common clinical end point for a myriad of inflammatory disease processes involving the paranasal sinuses. Chronic rhinosinusitis is the most common cause for NPs, but not all NPs are created equally. This article outlines the current understanding of pathogenesis in nasal polyposis and discusses the implications on therapy.
