<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> Chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) is a very common disease that should be carefully treated, as severe complications can develop. Despite the significantly decrease incidence of CSOM-related complications since the introduction of antibiotics, this clinical problem has not been eliminated.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> This was an observational study conducted including 60 cases of attico-antral type of CSOM and its complications. Detailed study of determinants of attico-antral type of CSOM and its complications were studied. The various options in the management of disease and its complications with their outcomes were studied. </p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> Majority of study participants belonged to lower socio-economic group. intra-temporal complications were most common complications and most of the patients required canal wall down surgery. Majority patients had complete recovery of the disease without recurrence during 3 months of follow-up.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Conclusions:</strong> Our study concluded majority of the patients belonged to the low socioeconomic status. It was also clear from the study that timely intervention in the form of early diagnosis and administration of proper treatment resulted in complete recovery of majority of patients.</p>
<p><strong>Background: </strong>Nasal masses are finding in an ENT (Ear, nose, throat) outpatient department. Most patient present with complaints of nasal obstruction.Other symptoms are nasal discharge, epistaxis and disturbances of smell. Sinonasal mass may be neoplastic (benign or malignant) or non-neoplastic (congenital, inflammatory) in nature. It is difficult to determine actual pathology underneath every nasal masses so, histopathological evaluation is mandatory for definitive diagnosis.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>The present study is prospective observational study of symptomatology, demographic profile and histopathological correlation of sinonasal masses in samplw size 80, these are the total number of patients presenting at tertiary health care centre from 1<sup>st </sup>Jan 2019 to 30<sup>th </sup>June 2020 (18 months) the study include, patients of any age and sex presenting with nasal symptoms</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Majority of patients with sinonasal masses where in the age group 2<sup>nd</sup> decade. Male female ratio was 1.28:1. Nasal obstruction was the most common presentation. Most common non neoplastic lesion was ethmoidal polyposis and most common benign lesion was hemangioma. Most common malignant lesion was squamous cell carcinoma.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>Presenting features of all sinonasal masses may be indistinguishable and post diagnostic dilemma. Correlation of clinical and histo-pathological modalities is of utmost importance for accurate diagnosis.</p>
