Abstract

Although the exact mechanism of nasal polyposis is unknown, the most emphasized etiologies are related with impaired nasal physiology, anatomy, and aerodynamic factors. In this report, we aimed to discuss the suspicious etiologic factors of nasal polyposis and to emphasize the importance of nasal examination in laryngectomy patients, even if nasal airway is not being used. Herein, we reported two total laryngectomy cases diagnosed with nasal polyposis who were applied tracheostomy instead of nasal airway. The nasal cavities of laryngectomy patients must be carefully evaluated in order to prevent nondiagnostic nasal pathologies.
