Vascular endothelial growth factor and children featuring nasal polyps

The level of expression of vascular endothelial-cell growth factor (VEGF) and the mean blood-vessel density were shown to be significantly greater within nasal polyps than within corresponding sinusitis mucosa. Clinically, the expression of both of these parameters correlated well with the relative size of nasal polyps. Vascular endothelial growth factor participates in the formation of nasal polyps amongst children suffering from chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS).
