Diseases of the nose and throat . luid with occasional flakes of purulent secretion. NASAL POLYPI. I 55 On puncture the fluid contents escape and the tumor shrivels upmore or less. Its apparent capacity for absorbing moisture, oftennoticed by the laity, is remarkable and the symptoms it produces aremuch aggravated in damp weather. On examining with a probe thefact that it is pedunculated may be readily demonstrated. It is aclinical fact that a polyp situated at the posterior naris is more firmthan one in the interior of the nasal fossa owing to the normal pre-dominance of fibrous tissue in the former region, a feature which isto some extent true of anterior polyps as a result of irritation towhich the latter are subjected. In a very large proportion of casesthe favorite site of polypi is the margin or free surface of the mid-dle turbinate body. When a sinusitis coexists they are often seenspringing from the lips of the ostium maxillare. They rarely arisefrom the septum although adhesions may take place between a polyp.
