title: [Endonasal microsurgery of antro-choanal polyps].
abstract: Between 1986 and 1991, 33 patients were operated on by the senior author. Neither sex, nor side prevalence has been observed. In 50% of the cases, the patient was a teenager. In 18% of the cases, a cystic oedematous transformation was the cause of the polyp. Its treatment must be surgical. Five cases were operated on by gingival access, the others by median and inferior meatotomy which is recommended by the authors. They found one recurrence out of the recorded 24 cases.
