Article Synopsis
- Chronic Rhinosinusitis (CRS) affects 5%-12% of people worldwide and is classified into type 2 and non-type 2 diseases, with type 2 inflammation marked by specific cytokines and immune cell activity.
- A retrospective study in Saudi Arabia assessed the prevalence of type 2 inflammation in patients with nasal polyps who underwent Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (ESS) from 2015 to 2020, focusing on factors like blood eosinophils and IgE levels.
- Results showed a striking 99.7% prevalence of type 2-CRS among the 381 studied patients, with significant rates of olfactory dysfunction and common co-morbidities like allergic rhinitis and asthma.

The aim of this study was to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the incidence rates, anatomical sites, and histological subtypes of different salivary gland malignancies in the population of KSA.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study included patients diagnosed with MSGC in KSA from 2008 to 2017, on the basis of the demographic characteristics and histological data retrieved from the Saudi Cancer Registry database.
We report a case of antrochoanal polyp, which has unusual presentation according to the location of the polyp in a 15-year-female patient. The patient came complaining of nasal obstruction, headache, and postnasal drip for a two-week period. The antrochoanal polyp measured 2.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the indication of TPN use in our pediatric HSCT patients and its impact on survival and possible related complications.
Results: A total of 228 HSCTs were performed during the study period.
