Endoscopic sinus surgery had been performed in three patients. The clinical course, computed tomography findings and nasal biopsy results of these three patients were evaluated.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0022215113000030_sec3\"><jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title><jats:p>All patients had turbinate atrophy and 6 of the 13 (46.2 per cent) had septal perforation. Paranasal sinus involvement was noted in 9 of 12 examined patients (75 per cent). The most commonly affected sinus was the maxillary sinus (in 8 of 12; 66.7 per cent). All three patients treated by endoscopic sinus surgery experienced relapse and required further surgery. Maxillary sinus irrigation was effective for reduction of persistent symptoms such as postnasal discharge and crusts.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0022215113000030_sec4\"><jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title><jats:p>Ex-lepromatous leprosy patients with atrophic rhinitis had various rhino-sinus abnormalities and persistent symptoms.
