A case of Allergic Fungal Sinusitis successfully controlled with oral corticosteroids followed by endoscopic sinus surgery is presented. The clinical diagnosis of AFS is emphasized. Endoscopic sinus surgery is preferable to open sinus techniques since the underlying mucosal disease is reversible. A prospective study is needed to determine the most appropriate treatment for this unique clinical disorder.
本文介绍了一例经口服皮质类固醇成功控制后行鼻内镜鼻窦手术的变应性真菌性鼻窦炎病例。强调了变应性真菌性鼻窦炎的临床诊断。由于潜在的黏膜疾病是可逆的，鼻内镜鼻窦手术比传统鼻窦开放手术更可取。需要进行一项前瞻性研究来确定针对这种独特临床病症的最合适治疗方法。
