Abstract

Nasal polyposis is a specific phenotype of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). Some cases can be managed with topical and infrequent use of systemic steroids, while many patients require surgery. Despite postoperative, regular steroid administration, recurrences may be found especially in patients suffering from Aspirin exacerbated respiratory disease (AERD), a particularly severe form of CRS with polyps, asthma and non-steroid-anti-inflammatory-drug (NSAID) intolerance. We report two cases of difficult-to-treat AERD patients following revision surgery, treated with monoclonal anti-IgE antibody (omalizumab) and successful control of the disease and symptoms. Omalizumab may be a promising alternative in selected cases of CRS with nasal polyps to avoid overuse of systemic steroids and frustrating repetition of paranasal sinus surgeries.
