Woakes Syndrome: A Case Report

Acceso Abierto

Abstract:

Introduction: Woakes syndrome is characterized by presence of polypoid mass occupying ethmoid complex, extending the bone pyramid, leading many authors called it deforming ethmoiditis or frog face. Later, this definition was expanded adding aplasia of the frontal sinus, bronchiectasis, and discrinia. The diagnosis is made by physical examination, observing polypoid masses, which may be restricted to the middle and top floor of the nasal cavities or occupy them entirely. Treatment is with topical and systemic corticosteroids and surgical procedures are reserved for cases of failure of clinical treatment and extensas polyposis.
