A fungal ball, or mycetoma, may form in any of the paranasal sinuses, causing inflammation and nasal obstruction. A fungal ball has a characteristic appearance on CT scan as well as MRI. In this procedure, rhinologists (sinus surgeons) use an endoscope, or small camera in the nose to access the sphenoid sinus and remove a fungal ball/mycetoma.
