Abstract

We report the cases of two laryngectomy patients who were diagnosed with de novo nasal polyposis, more than 15 years after their laryngectomies. This phenomenon has not previously been reported in the literature. We discuss the changes in nasal physiology of the laryngectomy patient, with regards to the aetiology of polyp formation, and highlight the importance of examining the nose in such patients.
