Abstract
|
|
|
|
The incidence of aspergillosis infections in the maxillary sinus has increased recently, because of overuse of antibiotics, steroids, anticancer agents, immunosuppressant, antimetabollites, and uncontrolled diabetes mellitus. The clinical features of maxillary sinus aspergillosis include pain, swelling and foul odor nasal excretion. This needs to be differentiated from bacterial maxillary sinusitis, and surgical treatment with antifungal agents are suggested. Recently, we treated two patients with maxillary sinus aspergillosis surgically (Caldwell Luc operation) and with antifungal agents(itraconazole). The results were satisfactory so we report these cases with literature review.
