Abstract

This prospective study assesses the role of intensive outpatient based conservative treatment in the management of aural polyp.

All cases of aural polyp that presented to the department during 1990 were included. Patients with obvious cholesteatoma or in whom inner ear or intracranial pathology was suspected were excluded as were children and patients who had undergone previous ear surgery.

We found that treatment with topical steroid/antibiotic decreases disease activity and renders subsequent surgery less extensive.
