“…Parker et al [26] and Shaw et al [31] in their report suggested the significant correlation between isolated fungal sinusitis and immunocompromised patients. Dubey et al [10] reported that diabetes mellitus (DM) was the most immunocompromising factor and present in 40 % of reported patients with CNS fungal infections.…”

“… 15 In our series, the CT scans of all 6 patients exhibited opacification of the sphenoid sinus with expansion and bony erosion of the sinus walls. On MRI, fungal rhinosinusitis (both fungus balls and AFS) 17,18 demonstrates a low or intermediate signal on both T1‐ and T2‐weighted images (as seen in case no. 4) with expansion of the sphenoid sinus and peripheral rim enhancement post‐gadolinium.…”

“…Isolated fungal disease of the sphenoid sinus is even rarer with only a few cases having been reported in the literature. 4 It is interesting to note that most of the cases of isolated fungal disease of the sinuses has been associated with hot dry climates such as Sudan, Northern India and Saudi Arabia. Southern Australia (where this series occurred) also experiences hot and dry conditions during the summer months.…”

Isolated sphenoid fungal sinusitis is a rare and often difficult to diagnose condition as the presenting symptoms are often vague and non-specific. In this series each case has a different clinical presentation with a different causative fungus. Although isolated fungal sphenoid sinusitis is usually seen in immunocompromised individuals, two of the three cases presented were immunocompetent. The fungi were Pseudallescheria boydii, Aspergillus fumigatus and Schizophyllum commune. In order to illustrate the great diversity of clinical signs, each case is individually presented. The characteristic radiological signs and the clinical management of each case are also presented. The danger signs of associated pathology are discussed with particular reference to an associated squamous carcinoma in one case. Surgical options and chemotherapy are discussed. Isolated sphenoid fungal sinusitis is a rare condition that if undiagnosed may result in considerable morbidity and even mortality of patients.
