Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on understanding the causes and effects of invasive fungal rhinosinusitis that impacts the skull base, examining data from 79 patients over a 5-year period at a specialized hospital.
- Key findings revealed that a significant portion (65.8%) of cases involved skull base rhino-orbitocerebral mucormycosis (ROCM), with a notable overlap with COVID-19 and diabetes mellitus among affected patients.
- The research highlights that the pterygopalatine fossa was the most commonly affected area, with important neurovascular structures like the pterygopalatine ganglion also frequently involved, stressing the importance of monitoring invasive fungal infections post-COVID-19.
