Abstract

Objective To explore the etiology and clinical features of non-invasive fungal rhinosinusitis and to evaluate the methods and curative effects of endoscopic sinus surgery.Methods The denial and follow-up data of 57 patients with non-invasive fungal rhinosinusitis were retrospectively analyzed.Results All cases were cured without recurrence during a follow-up from 6 months to 2 years.Conclusions Anatomic abnormalities of the paranasal sinuses are the main reasons of the non-invasive fungal rhinosinusitis,Clearing up the infected focus by endoscopic sinus surgery is an effective treatment,after surgery regularly sinus rinse and nasal endoscopy can prevent disease recurrence.
