[Analysis of 16 cases with aggressive fungal maxillary sinusitis]
Objective:
To improve the diagnosis and treatment level of aggressive fungal maxillary sinusitis.
Method:
16 cases were diagnosed with CT. Caldwell-Luc's surgery was done in 13 cases and Lima surgery in 3 cases. None of them were treated by antifungal agents.
Result:
It showed osteolytic damage with bony defect which was different from expanded bony defect caused by benign tumor, but similar to malignant tumor. No recurrence occurred as followed from 6 months to 2 years.
Conclusion:
Computed tomography is very important in its diagnosis. Early explorative operation is useful in making definite diagnosis.
