Learn MoreNasal Polyps
Sinus polyps are due to excessive swelling of the lining inside the nose that leads to grape-like growths of sinus membranes that can block a portion of the sinuses or all the sinuses and nasal passages. The severity of symptoms depends on the size and location of the polyps. Sometimes they are diagnosed while evaluating a patient for other chronic sinus problems, or they're the primary reason a patient comes in to be seen.
