Abstract
NASAL POLYPOSIS is a common clinical condition that, despite differing hypotheses of its cause, remains a poorly understood disease. Although nasal polyposis is histologically an inflammatory disease,1,2 the preferred treatment is surgical, but the frequent recurrence of polyps after surgical treatment is a problem for many patients. Several studies have demonstrated that topical corticosteroids are effective in reducing the size of polyps, nasal symptoms after surgical treatment, and the recurrence rate of polyps after polypectomy.3-9
