From the Cleveland Clinic:
"The most accurate way to determine the causative organism in sinusitis is a sinus puncture.
"After anesthetization of the puncture site, usually in the canine fossa or inferior meatus, the contents of the maxillary sinus are aspirated under sterile techniques, and bacterial cultures are performed to identify the organism.
"However, since sinus puncture is an invasive procedure, it is not routinely performed.
"Although this needs to be done by an otolaryngologist trained in the procedure, it may be necessary for defining the pathogenic organism when standard therapy has failed or in an immunocompromised patient who is at high risk of sequelae of untreated sinusitis, such as orbital or central nervous system complications."
