ABSTRACT

Since the first report of fungal sinusitis by Schubert in 1885, the reported cases of Aspergillosis of paranasal sinus have been relatively rare. But, because of the frequent use of antibiotics, steroids, immunosuppressives and oncologic drugs, the incidence of such infection seems to be increased.

Recently we experienced a case of Aspergillosis developed in the right sphenoidal sinus of 47-year old female patient who complained of frontal headache and treated by a endoscopic sphenoidotomy with a good result.

Keywords: Aspergillosis; Sphenoid sinus
