[Relations between sinus aspergillosis, primary rhinoliths and dental pathology].
Sinus aspergilloses, which can be classified as aspergillar sinusitis and pseudo-tumoral forms, are probably much more prevalent than would appear form the published literature. Many cases of caseous sinusitus reported since the end of the last century were probably unrecognized aspergillosis infections. In the same way, primary rhinoliths can probably be related to aspergillosis. Many cases of sinus aspergillosis appear to be of dental origin, particularly when radiography detects the presence of dental obturation paste in the sinus opacity: this appearance in the sinus opacity: this appearance is almost pathognomic of the affection. Sinus aspergillosis should be recognized as recovery can be obtained in the majority of cases by simple sinus washouts, without the need for chemotherapy.
