Abstract

Aspergillosis of the maxillary sinus is rarely seen in nonimmunocompromised patients. Among paranasal sinus infections associated with aspergillosis, the most common subtype is Aspergillus fumigatus. A 41-year-old woman presented with facial pain. She had a five-year history of root canal filling in the right upper molar teeth. Paranasal sinus tomography showed fungal sinusitis of radiopaque appearance, giving the impression of a foreign body in the maxillary sinus. The patient underwent endoscdpic sinus surgery to purge infection of the maxillary sinus. Pathological examination revealed aspergillosis of the maxillary sinus.

Özet

Maksiller sinüste aspergillus enfeksiyonları immün yetmezliği olmayan hastalarda nadir görülür. Aspergillusa bağlı paranazal sinüs enfeksiyonlarında Aspergillus fumigatus en sık görülen alttürdür. Kırk bir yaşında kadın hasta yüz ağrısı yakınmasıyla başvurdu. Hastaya yaklaşık beş yıl önce sağ üst molar dişlere kanal tedavisi yapıldığı öğrenildi. Paranazal sinüs tomografisinde, maksiller sinüste radyoopak görünümlü ve yabancı cisim izlenimi veren fungal sinüzit saptandı. Hastaya endoskopik sinüs cerrahisi yapılarak maksiller sinüs temizlendi, çıkartılan materyalin patolojik inceleme sonucu aspergillus enfeksiyonu ile uyumlu bulundu.
