[Clinical manifestations and CT diagnosis of non-allergic fungal sinusitis].
OBJECTIVE
The diagnose of fungal sinusitis, especially complicated by bone destructive, and its differential diagnosis from malignant tumour of nasal sinus were studied.


METHODS
Five cases were diagnosed with CT; nasal sinus microsurgery was done in 4 cases and sinusotomy in one case. None of them were treated by antifungal agents.


RESULTS
Fungal filaments were postoperatively shown in 5 pathological reports, fungal spores in some cases. No recurrence and complications occurred as followed from 6 months to 3 years.


CONCLUSIONS
It is not easy to differentiate fungal sinusitis from malignant tumour of nasal sinus, sometimes, but CT has demonstrated its importance of diagnostic value.
