Woakes syndrome is a chronic inflammation of the paranasal sinuses characterized by the appearance of recurrent nasal polyposis, progressive widening of the base of the nose due to pressure and bone erosion due to the growth of polyps. There is also aplasia of the frontal sinus and bronchiectasias. We present the case of a patient with woakes syndrome who underwent a functional ethmoidectomy at the military hospital of Nouakchott.
