I had a brain MRI that showed a large cluster of polyps in my left maxillary sinus. From the from (coronal?) view there is a solid mass up to the top and from the axial view, I can see that over half of the sinus is filled with at least 6 circular masses.
The MRI was for something else, and my docotr said these polyps were just due to seasonal allergies and she said I did not need to see an ENT. I do get allergies and alomst every year at least oen sinus infection.
Is it really safe to ignore this? I realize it just looks really gross- but how much is too much?
