Fungal rhinosinusitis (FRS) is inflammation of the paranasal sinus mucosa due to fungal infections, which can be invasive or non-invasive. The occurrence of a sphenoid mucocele with a fungal ball is rare. We report a case of sphenoid sinus mucocele with a fungal ball caused by Scedosporium apiopermum in a 32-year-old female who presented to the Emergency Department with persistent headache not relieved on medications. The radiological images showed a mucocele with clival osteomyelitis. Urgent endoscopic examination and debridement was undertaken which demonstrated a mucocele with fungal ball. Microbiological examination confirmed it to be Scedosporium apiopermum.
真菌性鼻窦炎(FRS)是由于真菌感染引起的鼻窦黏膜炎症,可分为侵袭性或非侵袭性。发生真菌球伴蝶窦黏液囊肿较为罕见。我们报告了一例由枝孢霉引起的蝶窦黏液囊肿伴真菌球的病例,患者为 32 岁女性,因持续头痛,药物治疗无效而到急诊科就诊。影像学图像显示黏液囊肿伴斜坡骨髓炎。紧急进行内镜检查和清创术,结果显示为黏液囊肿伴真菌球。微生物学检查证实为枝孢霉。
