Nazal Polipozis Tanı ve Tedavisinde Neredeyiz?

Nazal ve paranasal mukozanın kronik inflamatuar hastalığı olan nazal polipozis, çoğunlukla ön etmoid bölgeden ödemlimukozanın sarkması ve gri renkli polipoid kitleler oluşturması ile karakterize bir hastalıktır. Nazal poliplerin toplumdagörülme oranı %1-4 dür. Hastalarda burun tıkanıklığı, rinore, geniz akıntısı, koku kaybı ve daha az sıklıkta yüz ağrısışikayetlerine yol açabilir. Nazal polip tedavisi bu belirtilerin ortadan kaldırılmasına yönelik medikal ve cerrahi tadavileriiçerir fakat genel kabul görmüş bir tedavi protokolü yoktur. Altta yatan nedene yönelik olarak birçok hipotez ortayaatılsa da etyolojisi halen tam olarak bilinmemektedir. Bu makalede nazal polipozis tanı ve tedavisindeki güncelgelişmeler literatür gözden geçirilerek sunulmuştur.

Where We are in The Diagnosis and Treatment of Nasal Polyposıs?

Nasal polyposis is a chronic inflammatory disease of the nasal and paranasal sinuses mucosa, characterized by prolapse of edematous mucosa as grey polypoid masses, most commonly from the anterior ethmoid region. Nasal polyps are common, affecting up to 1-4 percent of the population. They present with nasal obstruction, rhinorrhoea, post nasal drip, loss of sense of smell, and less commonly facial pain. The management of nasal polyps, aimed at improving these symptoms, includes both surgical and medical treatments, but there is no universally accepted management protocol. Several hypotheses have been put forward regarding the underlying mechanisms but the aetiology is still unknown. In this article, we present the recent advances in the diagnosis and treatment of nasal polyposis by reviewing new guidelines and meta-analysis studies.
