Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
A polyp is a small finger like projection in the air containing cavity beside the nose. This is a harmless condition and requires no surgical treatment if small. Hyper pneumatization of frontal sinus means that the air space in the sinus cavity above the eyes is more than usual but this is not a problem.
