Fungal sinusitis incidence is increasing with societal aging and steroids administration, and head imaging has lead to increased detection. With nebulizers and medicinal therapy mostly ineffective in treating fungal sinusitis, surgery becomes the preferred choice. Subjects with maxillary fungal sinusitis undergoing endoscopic sinus surgery between 2000 and 2009 numbered 38 : 19 men and 19 women, aged 30 80 years average : 66 4 years. Of these, 15 underwent mid meatus antrostomy and 23 through mid and inferior meatus. One underwent reoperation through the inferior meatus. Fungal sinusitis recurred in 4 cases, 2 requiring a second surgery.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
