Abstract
We described the 2 cases with fungal sinusitis. To treat these cases, we did endoscopic sinus surgery with hydrodebrider system. This system has a powerful irrigation and remove the persistent bacterial and fungal infection that causes refractory paranasal sinusitis. We used the standard handpiece to the patient with maxillary sinusitis and used the frontal handpiece to the patient with sphenoidal sinusitis. It is thought that hydrodebrider sysyem is very useful for the patient with fungal sinusitis.
