Posterior choanae and choanal polyps

This is a publisher’s version of an article published in Annals of Otology, Rhinology & Laryngology published by Annals Publishing Company. This version is reproduced with permission from Annals Publishing Company. http://www.annals.com/In the literature there are reports of nasal, antrochoanal, ethmochoanal and sphenochoanal polyps. A search, however has not revealed reports of polyps actually arising from the choanae. A report and photograph of a polyp arising from the posterior choana is presented in this paper and it seems logical to refer to this as a choanal polyp
