Abstract

The technique of antroscopy affords an accurate assessment of chronic sinus disease. It was performed in twelve patients suffering from lepromatous leprosy in order to determine the type, nature and site of the lesion. Antral involvement with lepromatous leprosy may begin with a localized area of erythema progressing to granuloma formation or ulceration. The antero-inferior part of the antrum is the most commonly affected site.
