Chronic Rhinosinusitis With Massive Polyposis Causing Proptosis Requiring Craniofacial Resection.

Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a common health problem in the Western world. CRS is classified as CRS with (CRSwNP) and without (CRSsNP) nasal polyps. A less common third type is allergic fungal sinusitis, which often presents with polyps and, not infrequently, skull base erosion. Most patients are successfully managed with maximal medical therapy or endoscopic approaches. There are currently no reports of CRSwNPs resulting in fibro-osseous thickening and proptosis in the English literature. As such, the authors report a case of a 33-year-old man who underwent a craniofacial resection with drilling of the hyperostosed bone, which led to resolution of the proptosis and nasal symptoms. In an era where endoscopic surgery is the standard surgical approach for CRSwNP, this case highlights the need for open skullbase approaches for this condition due to the extensive and recalcitrant nature of the disease. While the majority of patients can be dealt with endoscopically, the authors highlight the importance of having the open approach in the otolaryngologists' armamentarium for patients of recalcitrant and extensive CRSwNP.
