ABSTRACT

Only a few cases of invasive fungal sinusitis have been reported since Oppe reported the first case in 1897. However, the incidence of invasive fungal sinusitis tends to increase with frequent use of antibiotics, anticancer drugs and steroids or prolonged survival of chronically debilitated patient.

Authors experienced a case of invasive fungal sinusitis, who had suffered from headache and visual disturbance for 6 months. We report a case of invasive fungal sinusitis with intracranial involvement.
