Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Medical Mycology

Context:

  • Maxillary sinusitis is a common condition.
  • Aspergillus species are fungi that can cause infections.
  • Dental procedures can sometimes lead to complications in the maxillary sinus.

Purpose:

  • To investigate the correlation between Aspergillus maxillary sinusitis and previous dental treatments.
  • To evaluate the diagnostic role of CT scans in these cases.
  • To report on the surgical management of Aspergillus maxillary sinusitis.

Summary:

  • A series of 20 cases of Aspergillus maxillary sinusitis were analyzed.
  • A significant correlation was observed between this fungal sinusitis and prior dental treatments.
  • In some instances, sinusitis occurred without apparent dental pathology or foreign bodies visible on X-rays.

  • Computed Tomography (CT) findings were crucial for diagnosis.
  • All patients underwent surgical treatment via endonasal micro surgery.

    • Impact:

    • This research emphasizes the importance of considering dental history in patients with maxillary sinusitis.
    • It underscores the diagnostic value of CT imaging for fungal sinusitis.
    • It demonstrates the efficacy of endonasal micro surgery for treating Aspergillus maxillary sinusitis.
