Article Synopsis
- Aspergillosis is a rare fungal infection primarily affecting the paranasal sinuses, with noninvasive types found in healthy individuals and invasive forms posing a risk for immunocompromised patients, particularly diabetics and those on long-term immunosuppressants.
- The invasive form can spread to nearby structures like the orbit and brain, increasing the risk of complications and mortality, highlighting the urgency for early diagnosis and aggressive treatment.
- Surgical options, such as the facial translocation approach, can provide better access for effective treatment in complex cases involving the orbit and cranial base, as illustrated by two patient cases presented.
