ABSTRACT
Isolated invasive fungal sinusitis of sphenoid sinus in a healthy immunocompetent person is extremely rare. Classical treatment of invasive fungal sinusitis is wide sphenoidotomy and surgical debridement combined with antifungal agents, mostly amphotericin B. We describe a case of a 72-year-old immunocompetent woman who presented with deep-seated orbital pain and was diagnosed as isolated invasive aspergillosis in sphenoid sinus invading orbital apex and cavernous sinus. This case was treated successfully with a new combination treatment of sphenoid nasalization and voriconazole, a new antifungal agent. There was no evidence of postoperative recurrence and side effects during the usage of voriconazole.
