Unlabelled: Fungal sinusitis are very often caused by Aspergillus spp. Dematiaceae spp. and mucomycoses. Sinusitis with Scedosporium spp is very rare, especially in immunocompetent humans. A 42-year-old female presented with long history of facial pain and headache. Isolated opacification of maxillary sinus with double density sign was noted on left side in the CT scan. Diagnosed as fungal rhino sinusitis and endoscopic sinus surgery was carried out to clear the disease of the sinus and further mycological evaluation proved the organism to be Scedosporium apiospermum. We report the rare case of a non-invasive isolated fungal sinusitis caused by fungi Scedosporium apiospermum.

A 69-year-old immunocompetent male with uncontrolled type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) presented with atypical left-sided headaches, diverging from his usual migraine pattern. Historically experiencing right-sided migraines, the patient's shift to left-sided headaches occurred after a month of using fluticasone for cold-like symptoms and potential mold exposure at home. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) suggested the diagnosis of skull base osteomyelitis.

Allergic fungal rhinosinusitis is a non-invasive form of highly recurrent chronic rhinosinusitis. A probable correlation between fungal sinusitis, a disorder resulting from fungal infections of the sinuses that can worsen nasal symptoms and complicate treatment, and allergic rhinitis has been shown by recent investigations. The aim of this study is to estimate the prevalence of fungal sinusitis among allergic rhinitis patients.
