Abstract

Invasive fungal sinusitis is an infection of the paranasal sinuses that should be diagnosed early due to its high mortality and morbidity rates. Mucormycosis and aspergillus are the two most important agents of invasive fungal sinusitis. Although usually seen in patients who are immunocompromised, they are rarely seen in immunocompetent patients. In this article, we present three patients with ophthalmoplegia; one patient with hematologic malignancy, and two patients with uncontrolled diabetes. By presenting these three patients with invasive fungal sinusitis, we aimed to emphasize the possible role of fungal sinusitis in the development of ophthalmoplegia in patients with diabetes or immunosuppression due to any reason, and the importance of early treatment

Özet

İnvaziv fungal sinüzit, paranazal sinüslerin yüksek mortalite ve morbidite nedeniyle erken tanınması gereken bir enfeksiyonudur. Mukormikoz ve aspergillus, invaziv fungal sinüzitin en önemli iki etkenidir. Genellikle immünsüprese kişilerde görülmekle birlikte, nadiren immünsüpresyonu olmayanlarda da görülebilir. Bu yazıda oftalmopleji kliniği ile gelen hematolojik malignitesi olan bir ve kontrolsüz diyabeti olan iki olgu sunulacaktır. İnvaziv fungal sinüzit saptanan bu üç hastanın sunulması ile diyabeti veya herhangi bir nedenle immünsüpresyonu bulunan hastalarda oftalmopleji gelişiminde fungal sinüzitin ön tanılar içinde akla gelmesi ve erken tedavinin öneminin vurgulanması amaçlanmıştır
