Once the cause has been identified, i.e. the correct diagnosis has been made, treatment often becomes available. In this patient, we diagnosed sinusitis with polyps / nasal polyposis as the cause of the postnasal drip. After a period of medical treatment, the postnasal drip disappeared and the anatomical details became clear. In this case, the patient can be managed with endoscopic follow-up or further treatment can be planned; an endoscopic sinus surgery can be performed to treat the residual disease. There are many other causes and treatments for postnasal drip than the patient presented here.
