title: [Inverted papilloma of paranasal sinuses. Our experience of 15 cases. Review of literature].
abstract: Fifteen cases of nasosinusal inverted papilloma treated in our department from 1994 to 2000 are reported. The most frequent initial symptom was unilateral nasal obstruction. Some others symptoms were rhinorrea, facial pain and self limited epistaxis. The most frequent surgical procedure performed was the paralateral rhinotomy with medial maxillectomy. The median average for the follow up was 28 months, being diagnosed one recurrence. The paralateral rhinotomy with a medial maxillectomy, under functional endoscopic nasosinusal techniques are being more and more used, decreasing the indications of open techniques.
