Note when having headache, stuffy nose, taking medicine for many months without relief

On January 10, news from Thanh Vu Medic Bac Lieu General Hospital said that the hospital's doctors had just performed surgery to remove the entire right ethmoid tumor, measuring 2x3 cm, from a 70-year-old patient.

Previously, Mrs. NTL (70 years old, living in Dam Doi District, Ca Mau ) was hospitalized with headache and stuffy nose. She took medicine for many months but it did not improve. The patient had a history of goiter and lipid disorder.

After examination and paraclinical tests, the doctor diagnosed the patient with a right-sided killian polyp, accompanied by chronic pansinusitis. After consultation, the patient was scheduled for surgery.

Doctor Nguyen Hong Tru, Head of the Ear - Nose - Throat Clinic, Thanh Vu Medic Bac Lieu General Hospital, said that Mr. L's case was not diagnosed and detected early, leading to headaches and nasal congestion lasting for many months.

The doctor performed endoscopic surgery to remove a killian polyp from the right nose, removing a 2x3 cm tumor. The patient's health is currently stable, no more headaches, no more nasal congestion, and the surgical wound is dry and good.

According to Dr. Tru, killan polyps (also known as posterior nasal polyps) are benign tumors formed by damage to the mucous epithelium in the maxillary sinus, which gradually grows larger and enters the nasal cavity through the maxillary sinus opening, towards the posterior nostril. The size gradually increases to the point of completely covering the posterior nostril.

Endoscopic surgery to remove killian polyps is a relatively simple surgery. Thanh Vu Medic Bac Lieu General Hospital has been performing this technique, helping patients to be treated right at the provincial level, without having to be transferred to the central level, saving time and costs for patients.
