RADIOLOGICAL EVALUATION OF ALLERGIC FUNGAL SINUSITIS: NOVEL FINDINGS

AIM
 Fungal sinusitis is a disease that was previously considered rare disease, but has recently been reported with increasing frequency in warm climates. classification evolved over the past two decades and said to include five subtypes. Discrimination of different subtypes knowing their radiological features are important for accurate rapid diagnosis initiation appropriate treatment. In our study, we aimed investigate whether there difference between findings AFS newly defined finding may help AFS; serrated turbinate those literature.
 
 MATERIALS AND METHODS
 Our study included 120 patients who underwent paranasal sinus computed tomography examination center January 2019 September 2021. Patients diagnosed as result allergic tests and/or fungal culture examinations were first group, non-AFS rhinosinusitis second group. Presence appearence, polyps, bone erosion, CT hyperdensity evaluated images.
 RESULTS
 The compaired appearence found be statistically signifant (p0.05).
 CONCLUSION
 showed useful marker AFS. Bone erosion should seperately from other morphological structural changes structure, density measurements specified opacification.
