Efficacy of beclomethasone nasal drops, administered in the Moffat's position for nasal polyposis.

Abstract

Nasal obstruction is a common symptom in pediatric age, often with mucopurulent discharge. One of the causes can be nasal polyposis, often occurring in association with some chronic disease, including cystic fibrosis (CF) (1), perennial rhinitis (Z), chronic sinusitis (Z), asthma and aspirin intolerance (3). Nasal polyposis is frequent in CF, occurring in 6 3 6 % of patients, according to different reports (4). The management of nasal polyposis is very difficult (5). In the present study the efficacy of beclomethasone nasal drops in the therapy of nasal polyposis, when administered in Moffat’s position (head down and forwards), was evaluated.
