group 3 the symptom free period was 4-5
weeks when MMR was injected and 10-12
weeks when Cidofovir was injected.
Conclusion: Recurrent Respiratory
Papillomatosis (RRP) is a benign neoplasm
caused by HPV, it affects mainly
children, it has high recurrence rate with
remissions. Best results are achieved using
microdebrider and Cidofovir intralesional
injection.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to
evaluate the common radiological features
at initial presentation and post operative
follow up imaging of patients proved to
have antrochoanal polyposis, and who
were treated surgically, and to evaluate
post operative clinical improvement of this
sample.
Methods: A total number of 54 patients
aged between 12 & 46 years with mean
age of 21.3 years, who proved to have
Antrochoanal Polyposis investigated by
CT-Scan during 3 years period (between
may 2009 & Feb.2012) were retrospectively
evaluated and follow up imaging CT-Scan
was performed for this group of patients.
The main presenting clinical symptom of
the selected patients was nasal obstruction.
We selected a coronal sinus CT-Scan as
referral imaging modality for this study
and according to which we made our
calculations and conclusions.
Results: Unilateral polyposis was found
in 38 patients (70.4%) and bilateral in
16 patients (29.6%). All patients were
operated by Functional Endoscopic Sinus
Surgery (FESS).The patients were followed
up by CT-Scan axial and coronal views at
4-6 weeks post operatively and only in
7 patients we recorded a post operative
inflammatory finding of which in 2 patients
the diagnosis was recurrent antrochoanal
polyp.
Conclusion: We conclude that CT-Scan was
very accurate in diagnosing antrochoanal
polyp pre and post operative assessment
and the recurrence of this disease was very
minimal according to follow up clinical and
imaging results. The Functional Endoscopic
Sinus Surgery (FESS) was very effective in
preservation of normal antral mucosa with
minimal complications in post operative
follow up screening.

Objectives: A retrospective analysis of all
cases of benign laryngeal lesions diagnosed
at Prince Zaid Military Hospital (Tafileh) for
the period of Jun 2010- Jun 2012, the age
distributions, sex, clinical presentation,
smoking habit and histo-pathological
types were analysed .
Methods: 22 cases of benign laryngeal
lesions histopathologically confirmed were
included in this study. The patients’ age
ranged from 17-74 years.
Results: Male predominance were noted
with male: female ratio of 2,4:1 ,according
to age distribution most patients were in the
35-45 age group ,65% were non smokers,
the commonest histo-pathological type is
benign vocal cord polyps and hoarseness
was the commonest presenting symptom.
Conclusion: Benign laryngeal lesions
are quite common in men, but histopathological
confirmation is mandatory for
all age groups.
