Abstract

The rhinocerebral aspergillosis invading sinuses and CNS is known to be a fatal desease in immunocompromised patients. The management principle of rhinocerebral aspergillosis is often by extensive surgical removal through craniotomy combined with amphotericin B therapy, and endoscopic removal had not been reported until now. We report in this study a case of rhinocerebral aspergillosis invading the left frontal sinus and the left frontal lobe which were treated by the combination therapy of endoscopic removal and antifungal agents.
