ABSTRACT
Ophthalmoplegia due to spheniod sinus aspergillosis is rare. We report two cases of sphenoid sinus aspergillosis with diplopia. A diabetic patient presented with complete oculomotor nerve palsy and showed more rapid progression, severe symptoms, and delayed and incomplete recovery from the neurologic deficits. The other patient presented with trochlear nerve palsy and showed slower progression milder symptoms, and more rapid recovery. We suggest that immediate imaging should be performed to diagnose the cause of diplopia in patients with atypical unilateral persistent facial pain with diplopia especially in patients with diabetes mellitus.
