Abstract
Objective

To investigate the epidemiologic data in 165 patients suffering nasal polyposis.

Material and method

We collected different variables that included age, gender, asthma, ASAsensitive, allergic rhinitis, smoker, drinker, familiar history. We studied the main symptoms (nasal blockage, rhinorrhea, anosmia, and headache) as well as otological and dermatological involvement.

Results

Nasal polyposis affects men (63%) more frequently, with a mean age of 46.5 years. Asthma was found in 36.6% of patients with nasal polyposis. The most frequent symptom was nasal blockage (88%) followed by anosmia (78%). Ears were affected in 42% of patients and 20% of first-degree relatives also suffer the same condition.

Conclusions

Nasal polyposis affects both genders in middle age and may have an associated genetic factor in some patients. We must rule out asthma in all these patients.

Resultados

Afecta más a varones (63%) con una media de edad de 46,5 años. Un 36,6% de los pacientes presenta asma asociada. El síntoma más frecuente es la obstrucción nasal (88%), seguido de la pérdida de olfato (78%). Los oídos se afectan en un 42% de los pacientes. Hay un 20% de pacientes de primer grado afectados de la misma enfermedad.
