Case description

The vast majority of nasal polyps are steroid sensitive. This left nasal cavity was filled with large nasal polyps. A short course of high-dose oral prednisone was administered prior to endoscopic sinus surgery. By shrinking the polyps the surgeon can see much more clearly their origin and the surrounding surgical landmarks.
