J Otolaryngol. 2005 Jun:34 Suppl 1:S18-23.

Abstract

The past 30 years has been witness to a period of tremendous growth and innovation within the field of rhinology, facilitating a better understanding and improved management techniques for a variety of local and systemic conditions manifesting within the nose and paranasal sinuses. Of these disease states, the spectrum of conditions considered under the rubric of fungal rhinosinusitis best exemplifies modern rhinology's position as a truly multidisciplinary specialty. We review the classification of the various forms of fungal rhinosinusitis and their clinical presentations, radiologic findings, and treatment options.
