Abstract
|
|
|
Invasive sphenoid fungal sinusitis sometimes invades the adjacent structures such as the optic nerve or cavernous sinus. Here, we present the treatment for a primarily embolized mycotic aneurysm that ruptured during endoscopic sinus surgery. This report describes the case of a 72-year-old man with a mycotic aneurysm. Although the patient¡¯s mycotic aneurysm was controlled by coil embolization, the subsequent endoscopic surgery resulted in massive bleeding and dislocation of the embolic coil. The ruptured vessel was stably controlled by internal carotid artery occlusion. This case emphasizes the need for careful consideration when performing endoscopic surgery for sphenoid sinusitis in patients especially with a mycotic aneurysm.
