A member asked:
Does maxillary polyp need to be removed if it is causing major numbness in face up and around eye?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Doubtful: Maxillary polyps are extremely common. So common, in fact, that sometimes they aren't even commented on in radiology reports. Rarely do they cause many symptoms, let alone facial numbness. I would see an ENT physician to assess whether the polyp is likely causing you any actual symptoms.
