Abstract
Rhinosporidiosis is one of the common tropical diseases in ENT practice. In the present study, it constitutes about 1% hospital admission for E: surgery per annum. Nasal and extranasal involvement particularly occular involvement was critically examined in this study. Complete excision of rhinosporidial mass under endoscopie guidance for nasal rhinosporidiosis is found to give superior result in term of recurrence.
Key words: Rhinosporidiosis, ocular rhinosporidiosis, rhinosporidiosis-distribution and recurrence, Endoscopy
