Abstract

A 14–year-old boy presented to the ENT clinic at Al Nahda Hospital, with left sided nasal obstruction, headache and postnasal drip symptoms that have been going on for 2 years. An anterior nasal rhinoscopic and endoscopic examination reveals a unilateral pink smooth mass, completely occupying the left nasal cavity and reaching to the anterior border of the inferior turbinate. Coronal and sagittal planes computer tomography demonstrate a huge left chonca bullosa with a smaller one inside it. Both are of complete opacification, blocking the ostiomeatal complex and causing opacification of the left maxillary sinus. The mass is pushing the nasal septum causing a deviation to the contralateral side. The patient has undergone an excision of both chonca bullosa as well as a left sided antrostomy. The patient reported an improvement and relieve of his symptoms postoperatively.
