Abstract:
Treatment of patients with fungal sinusitis, in some cases, does not lead to complete sinus sanitation, which may be due to insufficient surgical intervention and/or incorrectly selected antimycotic therapy. Treatment of such patients must necessarily include the complete removal of fungal masses from the affected sinus and the further use of antimycotics that ensure complete elimination of the pathogen. A clinical case of chronic fungal operated isolated sphenoiditis caused by the fungus Schizophyllum commune is presented. For extensive drainage of the sphenoid sinus, the patient underwent translamellar sphenoidotomy on the right with further antifungal therapy.
