Chronic invasive fungal sinusitis (CIFS) is a form of invasive fungal sinusitis.
Clinical presentation
The condition has a more prolonged course. Patients are usually immunocompetent or have a milder level of immunocompromise. There may be a frequent history of chronic sinusitis.
Radiographic features
CT
CT usually shows homogenous opacification of sinus affected compartments (iso to hyper-attenuating to muscle tissue).
Other suggestive features include
- relative lack of expansion of sinuses 2
- mottled lucencies or irregular bone destruction may be seen
- bone erosion being localised to the area of extra-sinus extension 2
- extra-sinus component of the disease being more than the intra-sinus component 2
- there may also be sclerotic changes in the bony walls of the affected sinuses representing chronicity of disease 3
MRI
Signal characterics of affected region include.
- T1: iso or hypointense signal
- T2: usually markedly hypointense signal
