Abstract
|
|
|
The fungus ball form of fungal sinusitis, formerly known as mycetoma or aspergilloma, occurs in immunocompetent
individuals and is almost never invasive. It produces minimal symptoms and usually affects only
one sinus. It may produce symptoms of chronic sinusitis such as rhinorrhea, nasal obstruction and the sensation
of pressure. The most common site is maxillary sinus unilaterally. But the cases that involved bilateral
maxillary sinuses have been rarely reported. In this report, we present three cases of the fungus balls which
are involved bilateral maxillary sinus.
