Achievements of Hippocrates, Celsus, Paulus of Aegina, Avicenna, Fallopius, Fabricius ab Acquapendente, André Levret, Percival Pott, Pierre Joseph Desault, Charles Bell and others are depicted. Pathophysiology of nasal polyposis historically is mentioned. Destruction of nasal polyps by chemical compounds were recommended before the surgical treatment.
