Inflammatory Fronto Nasal Polyps.

Nasal polyps are fleshy swellings, or polypoidal masses that develop in the lining of the nose and paranasal sinuses (air-filled spaces, communicating with the nasal cavity, within the bones of the skull and face). They are non-cancerous growths. Polyps vary in size; they may be yellowish brown or pink and are shaped like teardrops. As they grow they eventually look like grapes on a stem. Nasal polyps are commonly due to allergy and are bilateral. Unilateral Polyps are not common. In this study we are presenting three such cases of unilateral nasal polyp who came to our ENT department during the period May 2012 to November 2013 involving only the frontal sinus and extending to the nasal cavity which were inflammatory in origin with no evidence of allergy.
