Abstract

Fungal rhinosinusitis is a rare entity, which can affect both healthy and immunocompromised individuals. It encompasses a wide spectrum of immune and pathological responses, including chronic, granulomatous, allergic and invasive forms. This last can extend to invasion of the orbit and the brain. We report the case of a young girl known to be asthmatic operated successfully in our department for an invasive fungal sinusitis.
