abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To evaluate the curative effect of endoscopic sinus surgery on fungal sinusitis.
  
  
  METHODS
  The clinical and follow-up data of 30 patients with fungal sinusitis who underwent endoscopic sinus surgery were analyzed retrospectively.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Twenty-nine cases of non-invasive fungal sinusitis were cured by endoscopic sinus surgery; recurrence occurred in the 1 case of invasive fungal sinusitis two months after being treated by endoscopic sinus surgery and it was cured by lateral rhinotomy.
