A member asked:
Ct shows obstruction of l ostiomeatal complex & opacification of sinuses. is there a possibility this is a fungal ball? can ct scan find fungal ball?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, Yes: Typically a fungal ball (mycetoma) can be hinted at on CT scan by the appearance of the sinus opacification. Mycetoma is a possibility, but acute vs. chronic sinusitis would be a more likely diagnosis. I suggest you see an ENT for further discussion since they will be able to better address your sinus disease.
