INTRODUCTION
Fungal sinusitis is a common disease in the Indian subcontinent, and elsewhere especially in the developing world.
ese are common in North and Northwest India.
e disease encompasses a heterogeneous spectrum.
Careful interpretation of clinical and radiological ndings is paramount as management of various spectra is dierent and some drugs, such as steroids may be treatment of choice in one form and highly counterproductive in other.
CLASSIFICATION
e disease has been classied largely on the basis of immune status of the host and the immune response to the fungus. Some overlap exists between various subtypes.
e more decient the immune system, the more aggressive is the disease.
Broadly, fungal sinusitis is classied as:
Noninvasive:
• Fungus balls (also called as mycetoma)
• Allergic fungal rhinosinusitis (AFRS)
– Invasive Fungal Sinusitis – Chronic Invasive Rhinosinusitis
• Diagnosis
• Treatment
– Mycetoma – Allergic Fungal Rhinosinusitis – Invasive Fungal Sinusitis
Section 2 Inammatory Nasal Conditions114
Invasive:
• Acute invasive
• Chronic invasive (further classied into granulomatous and non-
granulomatous).1
Mycetoma (Fungal Ball)
is is the benign presence of “tangled mats” of hyphae in typically one sinus.
Frequently detected incidentally or by vague nasal symptoms.
Allergic Fungal Rhinosinusitis
e disease, though common, is poorly understood.
e mechanisms of occurrence are presumably similar to allergic broncho­pulmonary aspergillosis mediated by both type 1 [immuno globulin E (IgE)] and type III (IgG-antigen immune complexes).
e disease is hence an immune response to fungi rather than direct infection.
Polypi are the hallmark of AFRS disease. ere is gradual accumulation of allergic mucin.
Bent and Kuhn have outlined the major and minor clinicopathologic features for diagnosis of AFRS (Table 8.1).

e criteria, though not pathognomonic, are a guide to the diagnosis of
AFRS. Some, such as bone erosion have hence been modied as the same is not a hallmark of AFRS but of invasive fungus.
Invasive Fungal Rhinosinusitis
e hallmark of this type of fungal infection is tissue invasion which clinicoradiologically dierentiates it from AFRS.
Acute invasive rhinosinusitis is a term used for a fulminant infection where the patient is usually immunocompromised and the time course is less than 4 weeks. Vascular invasion is prominent histologically. Most patients are immunocompromised.
Chronic invasive rhinosinusitis patients have a more protracted disease course (more than 4 weeks) and have minimal or no vascular invasion, and immune compromised states.
Table 8.1: Diagnostic criteria of allergic fungal rhinosinusitis (AFRS).
Major criteria Minor criteria
Evidence of type 1 (IgE-mediated) hypersensitivity Asthma
Nasal polyposis Unilateral predominance
Characteristic CT ndings Radiographic bone erosion
Eosinophilic mucus Fungal culture
Positive fungal smear Charcot Leyden crystals
Serum eosinophilia
(IgE: Immunoglobulin E; CT: Computed tomography).
CLINICAL CHARACTERISTICS
Allergic Fungal Rhinosinusitis
As already mentioned, AFRS is the immune-mediated hypersensitivity to fungus.
e clinical features are result of accumulation of allergic fungal mucin, consisting of eosinophils, Charcot-Leyden crystals and fungal hyphae. e resulting expansion of sinuses leads to bone remodeling and decalcication. Polypi, as already mentioned are universally present.
Sinus remodeling, can lead to orbital symptoms like proptosis and visual loss (Fig. 8.1).
Invasive Fungal Sinusitis
e symptoms of acute and chronic sinusitis are largely as a result of tissue invasion by fungus, the former being more fulminant and orid. Since vascular invasion is key feature of acute invasive fungal sinusitis, tissue necrosis is an early feature.
Fever may be seen in 50% cases and most patients present with discoloration of cutaneous and mucosal areas of nose and palate. Since most patients of acute invasive sinusitis are immune compromised (diabetics being most common), features of primary disease are mostly present (Fig. 8.2).
Extensive rapid spread of disease is common and patients frequently present with symptoms of intracranial spread, cavernous sinus thrombosis and fungal meningitis.
Chronic Invasive Rhinosinusitis
Generally occurs in immune competent individuals and mimics other sinonasal disorders like sinusitis, neoplasms and granulomatosis with polyangiitis.
Nasal obstruction, headache, proptosis, and visual loss are common presenting symptoms.
Pain, with neuralgic characteristics is frequent and very dicult to treat. It indicates neural invasion and a guarded prognosis.

DIAGNOSIS
Mode of diagnosis of various fungal disease subtypes is dierent. Mycetoma and AFRS can be readily diagnosed clinicoradiologically and tissue diagnosis is generally conrmed only after therapeutic excisions.
Most frequent pathogens in AFRS are the Aspergillus and dematiaceous molds (Alternaria and Bipolaris).
Acute invasive rhinosinusitis, however, is generally caused by zygomycete fungi frequently being Mucor and Rhizopus. ough clinically evident in most cases, rapid testing with 10–20% potassium hydroxide and microscopic examination can provide valuable clue to diagnosis. Since early initiation of treatment is vital, this information can provide ground for management.
TREATMENT
Mycetoma
Simple surgical excision is curative. Antifungal drugs are not indicated.
Allergic Fungal Rhinosinusitis
Surgery is routinely required in these cases to alleviate symptoms and also reduce fungal and mucin load. Most cases can now be managed by endoscopic surgery.
Follow-up protocols vary among institutes. Steroids are mainstay of postoperative management. Topical and oral steroids may be used till normal mucosa is obtained and followed up for many years.
Antifungals have debatable ecacy.

struction with anterolateral thigh free ap (B).
Invasive Fungal Sinusitis
Treatment depends on various factors. Chronic invasive sinusitis patients, who are immune competent may be managed by debridement and oral azole antifungals (Itraconazole and Voriconazole).
Acute invasive fungal sinusitis, however requires very aggressive and early management. e immune compromised situation needs early reversal and acidosis requires rapid control.
Mainstay of treatment is systemic amphotericin and surgical debride­ment. Amphotericin is toxic in causing renal and hematological adverse eects and require close monitoring. Liposomal formulations of amphotericin have enabled rapid build-up of antifungal concentrations and are less toxic.
Debridement at times needs to be extensive and mandates removal of necrotic bones and soft tissues of face, orbit, and nose. Defects can at times be very debilitating and require reconstruction with aps when patient is cured (Figs. 8.3A and B).

TERMINOLOGY
Endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS): Generic term for all sinus surgeries performed through the endoscopic route.
Besides diseases of the paranasal sinuses, endoscopic trans-sinus route provides a way to surgically approach lesions of the orbit and anterior skull base (ASB) [e.g. repair for cerebrospinal uid (CSF) leak].
Functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS)—is a type of endoscopic sinus surgery which refers to minimally invasive treatment to restore sinus ventilation and normal function. It is done only for non-neoplastic mucosal diseases.
FUNCTIONAL ENDOSCOPIC SINUS SURGERY FESS
Goal of functional endoscopic sinus surgery is to reestablish the normal mucociliary clearance and normal ventilation in cases of refractory rhinosinusitis. Every sinus has its own natural pattern of drainage and innate mucociliary clearance pattern. Obstruction in the paths of these pathways inhibits proper clearance.
Indications
Refractory sinus obstruction, not responding to medical therapy
Polyps
Mucoceles.
Basic Principles
e procedure involves removing the diseased mucosa, preserving the maximum normal mucosa and optimally widening the natural ostia of the sinuses.
Osteomeatal complex (OMC) is the main area to be operated in FESS since even minimal inammation can lead to obstruction of drainage and ventilation of maxillary, anterior ethmoid and frontal sinuses.
If FESS is done from anterior to posterior direction, then it is called Messerklinger technique and the reverse is known as Wigand technique.
0 and 30 degree endoscopes (sinuscope) are must for FESS.
45, 70, and 90 degree sinuscopes are also available to visualize hidden areas.
Steps of Surgery
It is not necessary to open every sinus ostia; thus, surgery is tailor-made for each case according to requirement/scenario. e common sequence of steps is as follows:
1. Medialization of middle turbinate to open up middle meatal area.
2. Uncinectomy—removal of uncinate process. Incomplete removal of
uncinate is a common cause of failure of FESS as it plays key role in OMC formation.
3. Middle meatal antrostomy: Identication and enlargement of the
natural opening of the maxillary sinus into the middle meatus.
4. Frontal sinusotomy and clearance of the frontal recess.
5. Anterior ethmoidectomy: Opening the ethmoid bulla.
6. Posterior ethmoidectomy and sphenoidotomy: Breaching the basal
lamina.

Structured Reporting
It is important to use a structured reporting format for reporting CT scans of paranasal sinus diseases (Table 9.2 and Figs. 9.1A to F).
e preprocedural radiology report should encompass following components:
• Mapping sinus involvement
• Detailing drainage pathways
• Anatomic variants especially critical variants (for instance uncinated
process, olfactory fossa, Heller cell, and Onodi cell)
• Relevant details of surrounding structures (orbit, cranium, and oral
cavity)
• Incidental ndings, if any.
Mapping Sinus Involvement
is involves detailing the extent of disease and complications.
Listing of sinuses involved and assigning pattern.
Comment on attenuation of secretions—hyperdense secretions should be specically mentioned.
Status of sinus walls—mucoperiosteal thickening/erosion
• Hyperostosis: Extensive drilling required and there is a need to rule out
alternative etiology
• Dehiscence: Risk of penetration.
Caution—exclude tumor as a cause for obstruction.
Detailing Drainage Pathways
Since the aim of FESS is to restore drainage pathways, detailing the involvement of these is critical.
Anatomic Variants
ese may contribute to obstruction of drainage pathways and/or pose a surgical risk. Hence the need of detailing them in radiology reports.
e structure wise anatomic variants are detailed in Chapter 2.
e anatomic variants can be classied into three categories:
1. ose obstructing the drainage pathways: refer Chapter 2.
2. ose posing a surgical risk and may require alterations in surgical
technique (Table 9.3 and Figs. 9.2A to F).
3. ose responsible for recurrent disease are enlisted in Table 9.4.
