Abstract

Aspergillosis of the sphenoid sinus is a rare entity. The authors report four cases of non invasive aspergillosis sinusitis, three isolated cases and one with nasal polyps. All cases were treated by functional endoscopic surgery. Good results were noted with a mean follow-up of 18 months. Frequency, clinical features, treatment, and etiopathogenesis of sphenoidal aspergillosis are discussed.
