Abstract

Sphenochoanal polyps are rare cause of progressive nasal obstruction. These can often be mistaken for antrochoanal polyp if not investigated thoroughly. Here, we report the case of a 7 years old boy, who presented with a choanal mass. Endoscopic examination and CT helped in cinching the diagnosis.
