Differences were detected in complaints among adults, the greater proportion comprised patients with complaints of difficulty in nasal breathing (98,2% and 78.1%, respectively, p < 0.05), discharge from the nasal cavity of mucous or muco-purulent character (84.1 and 41.1%, respectively, p < 0.05), decrease in acuity of smell (hypo – or anosmia) (58.5 and 11.1% respectively, p < 0.05).Prevalence of Stage 2 and 3 dominated among adults (42.7% and 34.1%, respectively), among children - Stages 1 and 2 (29.1 and 56.6%, respectively), p < 0.05.Thus, in children a more favorable course of the polypous process was identified in children that justifies the priority of conservative treatment for this group of patients with favorable prognosis of the effectiveness.
