Abstract

Antrochoanal polyps (ACPS) are uncommon in children presenting to the pediatric clinic. They commonly present with unilateral nasal obstruction. ACPS presenting as obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in a young child is an uncommon initial presentation. A high level of suspicion is needed to diagnose OSA in young children as the presenting symptoms may be nonspecific and sometimes misleading.
