[ XXXX in paranasal sinuses].

@entity1 @entity1244 @entity2583 @entity6 @entity2379 @entity772 @entity693 @entity50
Paranasal @entity50 is a rare and often fatal condition that occasionally occurs in @entity1 with debilitating disease. Five @entity2583 cases with paranasal sinus involvement are reported. Two also complicated @entity6 . These @entity6 @entity1 rapidly developed @entity693 after the onset of symptoms. One case was soon operated upon and necrotic masses with fungus were excised. Despite i.v. @entity2379 administration, two @entity1 lost their consciousness in a few days, relapsed into @entity772 and died. In these cases, the infection originated from the ethmoidal sinus and directly spread towards the orbit and brain. The remaining three cases with @entity2583 had operations after the initial diagnosis of @entity1244 . All of the three @entity1 are alive and well. The combination of an excisional operation and antifungal therapy resulted in favorable response. High resolution CT scanning is valuable both in planning treatment and monitoring the response to therapy.
