Sinus maxillaris mycetoma of odontogenic origin: case report

Abstract: Fungal infections are on the increase and those of the jaw cavities with Aspergillus species may be connected with the root apices of teeth in the upper jaw. Diagnostic changes in the sinus maxillaris and certain types of facial pain may be indicative of fungal infection. The authors report a case of aspergillosis sinusitis and describe the diagnostic methods and treatment of this infection that may be associated with endodontic treatment.

“…MS is an inflammation of maxillary sinuses caused by mucociliary transport failure, related to numerous factors, such as anatomic malformations (NSD, CB), OLs, immune deficits, allergic reactions, smoking, atmospheric pollution, sinonasal polyposis, etc. (2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)12,18,19). Maxillary sinus MT is the radiographical appearance of MS (20).…”

“…MS can occur when mucosal membrane of sinuses is irritated by extention of pulp infecton or chronic infection and destruction of tooth socket (1). Maxilary sinusitis is caused by temporary and/or reversible mucociliary dyskinesia (2), which could be caused by some osteomeatal obstructions, allergy, and among other conditions, as well as abnormal growths, such as nasal septal deviations (NSD), concha bullosa (CB) (3)(4)(5)(6)(7). Maxillary sinus mucosal thickening (MT) is the radiographical appearance of MS, defined as inflammation of maxillary sinuses (2).…”

“…Fungal growth, particularly the growth of Aspergillus species, is stimulated by some dental materials used for pulpal treatment to enable mycetoma formation. The materials include pastes for root filling, such as zinc oxides, or some metals in endodontic materials (18). These materials can be inserted into the maxillary sinus through the apex during root canal therapies or as a result of traumatic dental procedures, such as extraction or dental implantation (20), which was in accordance with our case of odontogenic sinusitis.…”

“…Mackenzie first represented a fungal rhinosinusitis case (21). Odontogenic sinusitis commonly appears in females and patients passing the fourth to the sixth decade of their life (18). These patients are usually immunocompetent with no significant changes in their immunoglobulin level.…”
