Fungal rhinosinusitis and imaging modalities

Author(s): Gorovoy IR, Kazanjian M, Kersten RC, Kim HJ, Vagefi MR

Abstract

This report provides an overview of fungal rhinosinusitis with a particular focus on acute fulminant invasive fungal sinusitis (AFIFS). Imaging modalities and findings that aid in diagnosis and surgical planning are reviewed with a pathophysiologic focus. In addition, the differential diagnosis based on imaging suggestive of AFIFS is considered.
