Abstract
• Recurrent disease is common in allergic fungal rhinosinusitis (AFR) and close follow-up is necessary.
• Both optimal medical and surgical therapy are needed for the adequate treatment of AFRS to minimize recurrence.
• Care should be taken to avoid dural resection to prevent future intracranial dissemination of disease.
• Image-guided surgery is useful for revision surgery for AFRS in the face of altered anatomical landmarks.
• Recurrence after treatment of AFRS is common.
