“…It has been suggested that the high incidence of fungal sinusitis in Northern Sudan and the Southern States of the USA may be due to dusty, arid conditions predisposing to rhinitis and recurrent sinusitis facilitating the growth of saphrophytic fungal spores (Rifkind et al, 1966;Milosev et al, 1969;Veress et al, 1973;McGuirt and Harrill, 1979). Beck-Managetta and Nececk (1983;1986) noted an association between aspergillus sinusitis and endodontic work to the upper molar and premolar teeth during which zinc oxide, which accelerates aspergillus growth in vivo and in vitro, may be introduced into the antrum.…”

The effective management of paranasal sinus aspergillosis requires early diagnosis, histological classification, surgery and where appropriate, chemotherapy. Fungal sinusitis may be easily missed unless a high index of suspicion is maintained and specific culture and histology requested. The disease is classified into invasive and noninvasive types, each being divided into two subgroups: invasive aspergillosis may be either fulminant or indolent and noninvasive disease localized or allergic. The literature is reviewed and an algorithmic approach to aspergillus sinusitis proposed. The importance of histologically differentiating invasive from noninvasive aspergillosis prior to selecting the appropriate treatment options is stressed. CT scan should precede definitive surgery, and be used in follow-up. Close and prolonged follow-up is essential.

Mycotic infection of the paranasal sinuses and Maxilla are on the rise globally. Since 1968 the number of reported cases has increased three fold of all the fungal infections. Aspergillosis is one of the most rapidly progressing and lethal form of fungal infection. Among all fungal infections, Aspergillosis is the commonest fungal infection in human beings especially in orofacial region. Its early medical and surgical treatment can improve survival. We report a case of invasive Aspergillosis of maxilla in a patient with diabetes mellitus who was managed by systemic as well local antifungal therapy, along with surgical debridement and followed by prosthetic rehabilitation.

“…Radiographically, most of the patients showed opacification and soft tissue mass involving multiple paranasal sinuses either in one or both sides. Four cases (1,3,4,6) showed destruction and erosion of the bone and three of those (1,3,6) showed radiologic evidence of extension into the anterior cranial fossa. Eight patients were from the Western Provinces of the Kingdom, one was from the Central region, one from the South and the other was from the Eastern Province.…”
