Abstract

Objective: To retrospectively evaluate clinical and radiological characteristics of the patients with paranasal sinus fungus ball. Methods: The medical files of nine patients who had been operated between April 2010 and November 2013 in Adana Hospital of the Başkent University with the diagnosis of fungus balls of paranasal sinuses were analyzed. Patients with fungus infection which was showed tissue invasion, allergic mucin, rich of eosinophil and granulomatous tissue in histopathologic examination were excluded in the study. Demographic characteristics, physical examination findings, results of computed tomography, culture and histopathologic examinations were analyzed. Results: Study population consisted of three men and six women with a mean age of 64.5 (range: 35 to 78) years. In all patients, an intrasinusal hyperdense heterogenous image was detected on paranasal sinus tomograms. Fungus balls were noted in the right maxillary sinus in five (77.7%) and in sphenoid sinus in two (22.3%) patients. Only three (33.3%) patients had not any other systemic disease. All patients underwent functional endoscopic sinus surgery. On histopathological examination, results of all patients were reported as fungus balls. Conclusion: In cases presenting with a systemic disease associated with non-specific symptoms of sinusitis, the presence of a fungus ball should be considered.

Paranazal sinüs mantar topu olgularına yaklaşımımız

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmada paranazal sinüs mantar topu nedeni ile opere edilen olgularımızın klinik ve radyolojik verilerinin retrospektif olarak değerlendirilmesini amaçladık. Yöntem: Başkent Üniversitesi Adana Hastanesi'nde Nisan 2010 ile Kasım 2013 tarihleri arasında paranazal sinüs mantar topu teşhisi ile opere edilen dokuz hastanın kayıtları incelendi. Patolojik incelemede doku invazyonu gösteren, eozinofilden zengin, alerjik müsin ve granülomatöz yapılar bulunduran mantar enfeksiyonu olan hastalar çalışma dışında bırakıldı. Olguların demografik özellikleri, fizik muayene bulguları, bilgisayarlı tomografi, histopatolojik inceleme ve kültür sonuçları değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Olguların üç tanesi erkek, altı tanesi kadındı ve yaş ortalaması 64.5 (dağılım: 35-78) idi. Tüm hastalarda, paranazal sinüs tomografi sonucunda, sinüs içerisinde hiperdens heterojen görünüm saptandı. Yedi (%77.7) hastada maksiler sinüste, iki (%22.3) hastada ise sfenoid sinüste mantar topu tespit edildi. Sistemik hiçbir hastalığı olmayan sadece üç (%33.3) hasta mevcut idi. Tüm hastalara fonksiyonel endoskopik sinüs cerrahisi uygulandı. Hastaların histopatolojik inceleme sonuçları mantar topu ile uyumlu bulundu. Sonuç: Nonspesifik sinüzit bulguları ile başvuran ve eşlik eden sistemik hastalığı olan olgularda, paranazal sinus mantar topunun ayırıcı tanıda akılda tutulması gereklidir.
