Orbital Apex Syndrome Secondary to Invasive Aspergillus Infection: A Case Series and Literature Review

Conclusions: The present cases illustrate well the challenge in the diagnosis and treatment of OAS due to invasive sinus aspergillosis. Our review and analysis of 73 cases support the notion that a high index of suspicion leading to early biopsy with histology and fungal culture is paramount for diagnosis. Early empiric antifungal treatment and debridement can potentially reduce morbidity and mortality.
