Abstract

Objective To study the pathological and clinicalfeatures of fungal sinusitis and its diagnosis and treatment methods.Methods The clinical symptoms,CT manifestations and treatments of fungal rhinosinusitis was analyzed retrospectively with data from 35 patients in our department between April 2005 and April 2009.All 35 patients were washed opened nasal sinus after endoscopic sinus surgery during a follow-up of 6 months to 2 years,Results among the 35 patients,33 patients had been cured.2 had been healed after re-operation by using nystatin wash nasal sinus with 6 months of follow-up.Conclusion CT scan-ning is useful for the diagnosis of fungal rhinosinusitis.It's effective to cure the fungal rhinosinusitis with nystatin nasal sinus wash-outs after endoscopic sinus surgery.
