Abstract

Fungus ball is a noninvasive, extramucosal mass offungi usually characterized by a single sinusinvolvement. It is often asymptomatic, although itmay cause non-specific symptoms such as headache,nasal obstruction, nasal discharge, etc. Fungus ballcan also be seen in immunosuppressed patients. Inliterature, no sphenoid sinus fungus ball along withrheumatoid arthritis have been observed. In the lightof current literature, this article discusses a patientwith isolated sphenoid sinus fungus ball who has beenon a long term treatment for rheumatoid arthritis andhas severe headache complaint.

Özet

Fungus topu, ektramukozal yerleşimli invaziv olmayan ve genellikle tek bir sinüs tutulumu ile karakterize mantar enfeksiyonudur. Baş ağrısı, burun tıkanıklığı, geniz akıntısı gibi non-spesifik semptomlar verebilmesine rağmen çoğunlukla asemptomatik seyretmektedir. Fungus topu immunsüprese hastalarda da görülebilmektedir. Literatürde romatoid artrit ile beraber sfenoid sinüs mantar topu olgusuna rastlanılmamıştır. Bu makalede romatoid artrit nedeniyle uzun süredir tedavi gören ve şiddetli baş ağrısı şikayeti olan izole sfenoid sinüs fungus topu olgusu güncel literatür eşliğinde tartışılmıştır.
