Sinonasal polyposis with secondary fungal infection
Diagnosis almost certain
Updates to Case Attributes
Body
was added:
Chronic rhinosinusitis is defined as disease lasting more than 12 weeks (1).
Fungal infection is relatively common, and is broadly divided into invasive and non-invasive forms,defined by the presence or absence of fungal hyphae in the mucosa and soft tissues of the sinonasal cavity (2).
CT characteristically demonstrates multiple sinus opacification with sinus expansion and the presence of hyperdense material. Benign bony remodelling, resorption and erosion into adjacentstructures can be seen (3, 4).
