Abstract

Abstract Background: Sphenochoanal polyp, a rare case of nasal polyp, is a benign mass that originates in the sphenoid sinus and develops into a choanal polyp. Case presentation: A 36-year-old Indonesian male complained of irregular right nasal obstruction and runny nose for one year. Physical examination showed soft tissue mass in the right nasal cavity, cyst retention in the right maxillary sinus, right sphenoid sinus, and cervical spondylosis. Diagnosis of sphenochoanal polyp was supported by nasoendoscopy and CT-Scan of paranasal sinuses. The patient got medical care and underwent functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) and rinsed the nose with normal saline and topical steroids. Evaluation at six months after the surgery, the patient came without complaint and showed no sign of polyp mass or cysts recurrence, so the patient was declared to have a full recovery. Discussion: FESS is proven effective for managing sphenochoanal polyp and minimizes complications post-surgery and repetition of the polyp. Conclusion: FESS is recommended for management of sphenochoanal polyp in term of minimizing recurrency.
