Fungus ball of the maxillary sinus - modern treatment by osteoplastic approach and functional endoscopic sinus surgery

Functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) is considered the standard surgical therapy for fungus ball of the maxillary sinus. However, recent findings have indicated an odontogenic etiology, which requires simultaneous treatment of the dental origin. This study presents our treatment results of fungus ball of the maxillary sinus using a combination of FESS and an endoscopically assisted osteoplastic approach via the anterior wall of the maxillary sinus, enabling the simultaneous treatment of the dental origin.
