Abstract

Objectives: Sphenoid sinusitis is uncommon, and aspergillus infections represent a minority of these cases. Symptoms like nasal congestion, postnasal drip and headache are similar to those experienced with chronic rhino sinusitis. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging, can help in diagnosing fungal infections of the paranasal sinuses. Case report: A 57-year-old female patient applied to xxx University, Faculty of Dentistry, Department of Oral and Dentomaxillofacial Radiology with the complaint of mobility in her teeth. During the assessment of the teeth in the maxillary posterior region in the CBCT, a pathology was detected that completely filled the right lateral pterygoid process, anterior clinoid process and right sphenoid sinus. The patient was directed to the otorhinolaryngology clinic for further assessment of the lesion. Following a biopsy taken from the affected area, the pathology report indicated that the lesion was consistent with Aspergillus. Conclusion: Early diagnosis of lesions which develop asymptomatic but may cause damage to surrounding structures with late diagnosis and postponement of treatment such as sphenoid sinus aspergilloma is of great importance. For this reason, when interpreting radiological images, it is always necessary to make a general evaluation instead of focusing on the main complaint.

Özet

Giriş: Sfenoid sinüslerde sinüzit nadir görülmekte olup, aspergillus enfeksiyonları bu vakaların küçük bir kısmını oluşturmaktadır. Burun tıkanıklığı, geniz akıntısı ve baş ağrısı gibi semptomlar, kronik rinosinüzit belirtileriyle benzerlik göstermektedir. Bilgisayarlı tomografi ve manyetik rezonans görüntüleme, paranazal sinüslerdeki mantar enfeksiyonlarının tanısında önemli bir rol oynamaktadır. Olgu sunumu: Dişlerinde mobilite şikayetiyle xxx Üniversitesi Diş Hekimliği Fakültesi Ağız, Diş ve Çene Radyolojisi Anabilim Dalı'na başvuran 57 yaşındaki kadın hastanın, konik ışınlı bilgisayarlı tomografi ile yapılan değerlendirmesinde, maksiller posterior bölgedeki dişleri incelenirken sağ lateral pterygoid proçes, anterior klinoid proçes ve sağ sfenoid sinüsü tamamen dolduran bir patoloji tespit edilmiştir. Lezyonun ayrıntılı değerlendirilmesi amacıyla hasta kulak, burun ve boğaz kliniğine yönlendirilmiştir. Etkilenen bölgeden alınan biyopsi sonucunda, patoloji raporu lezyonun Aspergillus ile uyumlu olduğunu ortaya koymuştur. Sonuç: Sphenoid sinüs aspergilloması gibi asemptomatik gelişen ancak geç teşhisi ve tedavinin ertelenmesiyle çevre yapılarda tahribata neden olabilecek lezyonların erken teşhisi büyük önem taşımaktadır. Bu nedenle radyolojik görüntülerin yorumlanması esnasında esas şikayete yoğunlaşmak yerine her zaman genel bir değerlendirme yapılması gereklidir.
