    Summary

    This study details unusual cases of fungal sinusitis, including bilateral maxillary sinusitis and right pansinusitis. Treatment involves surgery and antifungal medications, emphasizing the need for pathological and bacteriological confirmation.

    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Mycology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Sinusitis can present with varied etiologies, including fungal infections.
    • Allergic polyposis is a recognized complication in some sinonasal diseases.
    • Distinguishing fungal sinusitis from bacterial or other causes is clinically important.

    Observation:

    • The study describes two cases: bilateral maxillary sinusitis and right pansinusitis.
    • One case exhibited allergic polyposis, potentially linked to fungal sensitization.
    • Neither patient reported dental issues or foreign bodies within the sinuses.

    Findings:

    • The observed sinusitis cases were attributed to an unusual disease, likely fungal.
    • Fungal sensitization is a probable cause for allergic polyposis in these cases.
    • Diagnosis requires confirmation from both pathology and bacteriology.

    Implications:

    • Accurate diagnosis of fungal sinusitis is crucial for effective treatment.
    • Surgical intervention combined with antifungal therapy is the recommended treatment approach.
    • Further research into fungal sinusitis and its association with allergic polyposis is warranted.
