Abstract

Long term survival of patient with invasive aspergillosis involving orbit, paranasal sinus, and central nervous systemAspergillus infections of the paranasal sinuses are classified as invasive or non-invasive.1 The vast majority are non-invasive with a good prognosis; however, the invasive type behaves as a malignant neoplasm with bone destruction, orbital and intracranial extensions, and a high mortality rate.[2][3][4] We present one patient with invasive paranasal aspergillosis that extended into the orbit and cranial cavities, and who has survived for 9 years and 1 month.
