ConclusionOne of the bases for the occurrence of invasive fungal sinusitis may be the patient ’s long-term use of ruxolitinib for essential thrombocythemia. Some patients with invasive fungal sinuses have atypical nasal symptoms and are referred to the corresponding departments with eye and headache as the first symptoms. It is suggested that enhanced magnetic resonance imaging should be p erformed at an early stage.
