초록
The maxillary sinus is the most commonly affected in the fungal infection of the sinus, but sphenoid sinus is only occasionally occurred. Because of the adjacent structures in sphenoid sinus, however, its complication may cause fatal outcome. Visual loss due to optic neuritis, which is defined as an inflammatory neuropathy of the optic nerve, is extremely rare, which may occur via direct spread of fungus. We experienced a case of fungal sphenoid sinusitis, which damaged the optic nerve and led to visual loss in a 74 year-old male. It was treated by endoscopic sinus surgery with steroid therapy. We present this case with a brief review of these disease's entities.
Abstract
The maxillary sinus is the most commonly affected in the fungal infection of the sinus, but sphenoid sinus is only occasionally occurred. Because of the adjacent structures in sphenoid sinus, however, its complication may cause fatal outcome. Visual loss due to optic neuritis, which is defined as an inflammatory neuropathy of the optic nerve, is extremely rare, which may occur via direct spread of fungus. We experienced a case of fungal sphenoid sinusitis, which damaged the optic nerve and led to visual loss in a 74 year-old male. It was treated by endoscopic sinus surgery with steroid therapy. We present this case with a brief review of these disease's entities.
