    Abstract:
    Over the last years we have observed a high frequency of fungal infections of the paranasal sinuses. Fungal infections can be grouped into invasive and non-invasive forms. Surgical removal of the sinus fungal masses to ensure drainage and aeration is performed using the endoscopic sinus surgery. General or local antifungal drugs are not indicated in the cases of non-invasive forms. For the treatment of invasive fungal sinusitis aggressive antifungal therapy and surgical treatment are the mainstays of management. The treatment results of 18 patients suffering from fungal infections of the paranasal sinuses operated endoscopically during 4 years period (2006-2009) in Otolaryngology Department of Medical University in Białystok were presented.
