Abstract

Nosni je polip edematozno zadebljanje sluznice koje formira viseći proces na široj ili užoj peteljci. Najčešće je lokaliziran u gornjem dijelu nosa i oko otvora paranazalnih sinusa uz širenje u nosnu šupljinu. U slučaju većeg broja polipa govorimo o polipozi čije je obilježje poremećena funkcija nosa. Nosna polipoza je dio upalne reakcije koja zahvaća mukoznu membranu nosa, paranzalnih šupljina, a često i donjih dišnih putova. To su najčešći dobroćudni tumori u nosu i nalazimo ih u 1 do 4 % slučajeva u ukupnoj populaciji. Sve je veća učestalost pojave kroničnih upalnih bolesti dišnog puta, prije svega astme s kojom je nosna polipoza često udružena, pa je tako i učestalost pojavljivanja nosne polipoze sve veća. Konzervativno liječenje nosnih polipa usmjereno je na lokalnu ili sustavnu primjenu lijekova iz skupine steroida. Danas se smatra da ovaj način liječenja ima prednost u usporedbi s kirurškim. Funkcionalna endoskopska sinusna kirurgija drugi je oblik liječenja koji je u praksi zamijenio radikalnu kliničku kirurgiju. Kombinirano liječenje podrazumijeva primjenu steroida prije kirurškog zahvata, kao i nakon zahvata, u svrhu smanjenja vraćanja bolesti.

Abstract (english)

A nasal polyp is an oedematous thickening of a mucous membrane that forms a suspension process in the broad or narrow stalk. It is usually localized in the upper part of the nose and around the opening of the paranasal sinuses with the expansion in the nasal cavity. In the case of a larger number of polyps we are talking about polyposis which is characterized by an impaired function of the nose. Nasal polyposis is a part of an inflammatory reaction that affects the mucous membrane of the nose, paranasal sinuses and often the lower respiratory tract. These are the most common benign tumors of the nose and they are found in 1 to 4 % of the total population. There is an increasing incidence of chronic inflammatory diseases of the airway, especially asthma which the nasal polyps are often associated with, and so the incidence of nasal polyposis is increasing, too. The conservative treatment of nasal polyps is focused on the local or systematic use of medication from the group of steroids. Today, it is considered that this kind of treatment has an advantage compared to a surgical treatment. Another form of treatment is a functional endoscopic sinus surgery and in practice it has replaced the radical clinical surgery. A combined treatment involves application of steroids prior to surgery and after surgery in order to reduce the recurrence of the disease.
