ABSTRACT
Aspergillus is a relatively uncommon and saprophytic, ubiquitous fungus that is normally not pathogenic in human. Usually arising from the paranasal sinuses, it may present in manifold ways within the orbit. Some severe presentation, such as cerebral involvement, may lead to fatal outcome in immunocompromised patients. As a result, when it occurs it requires early recognition, aggressive surgical management, and prolonged antifungal therapy. Recently authors experienced a case of sino-orbital-cerebral Aspergillosis in a healthy woman. Therefore we report our case with a review of related literature.
