A retrospective analysis of 538 sinonasal fungus ball cases treated at a single tertiary medical center in Korea (1996‐2015)

Abstract

The number of FB patients who underwent surgery has increased steadily over the past 20 years. FB should be considered in patients with unilateral nasal symptoms and unexplained headaches. A preoperative CT scan is an essential tool in making diagnosis easier and faster. Endoscopic surgery is the treatment of choice, with a low morbidity and recurrence rate.
