Abstract
|
|
|
Invasive fungal sinusitis is common in immunodeficiency patients and can spread into the orbitor intracranial cavity. The Onodi cell, which is one of the anatomical variations of the ethmoidsinus, refers to the space that has been pneumatized superolateral to the sphenoid sinus.
We experienced a case of invasive fungal sinusitis that caused vision loss by invading the Onodicells. Endoscopic sinus surgery and antifungal treatment successfully recovered the patient’svision and we herein report on the case with a review of the literature.
