Management of acute invasive fungal rhinosinusitis with
orbit-cranio-facial involved------ our experience with 8 cases
Abstract
Key points: Diagnosis of AIFRS should be alert in the
immunocompromised patient presenting with new-onset, rapidly progressive
sinusitis with facial-cranio-orbital spread. Extended debridement
should be considered on a case-by-case basis. Antifungal agent
contributed greatly to the outcome of AIFRS. Prognosis mostly up to
the balance of underlying disease and fungal invasion, more emphasizes
should be focused on comprehensive treatment. AIFRS with
facial-cranio-orbital involved often had a disastrous end.
