Published: September 2023

Antrochoanal polyps are benign lesions arising from the maxillary sinus mucosa. The most common patient complaint is unilateral nasal obstruction. Nasal endoscopy and computed tomography are the gold standard modalities for diagnosis. Treatment is surgical. We report the case of a 19-year-old female suffering from a huge antrochoanal polyp who went to hospital following a choking episode. While being prepared for surgery, she vomited, and the polyp was expelled from her mouth. Right maxillary sinus antrostomy was done to remove the polyp base to avoid recurrence.
