Resumen

La sinusitis fúngica es una entidad poco frecuente que se ha incrementado en los últimos años en individuos inmunocompetentes. Presentamos nuestra experiencia en trece pacientes tratados entre 1995-2001. El estudio anátomo-patológico demostró afectación por Aspergillus en ocho pacientes y por Mucormicosis en otros cinco. El tratamiento de la sinusitis fúngica fue el debridamiento quirúrgico por técnica endoscópica. El seguimiento clínico es de 12 a 72 meses (media 29,08 meses). Se describen las principales características de la presentación clínica y se hace una revisión de la literatura. Concluimos que la cirugia endoscópica nasosinusal es muy eficaz en el tratamiento de la sinusitis fúngica, excepto los casos avanzados de mucormicosis en los que un abordaje mixto (externo- endonasal) es necesario conjuntamente con tratamiento antifúngico intravenoso (anfotericina B).

Abstract

Fungal sinusitis is a rare entity which has increased amongst immunocompromised individuals. Records of thirteen patients treated of fungal sinus disease between 1995 and 2001 were reviewed. Histopathological studies demonstrated infection due to Aspergillus in eight patients and due to Mucormycosis in five patients. The surgical debridement via endoscopic sinus surgery was the essential part of the management. The follow-up is 12-72 months (mean 29,08). The main clinical findings and a review of the literature are presented. We conclude that endoscopic sinus surgery is the treatment of choice for fungal sinisitis except in advanced cases of mucormycosis in which a combined approach is still necessary together with intravenous antifungal drugs (amphotericin B).
