Ocular involvement in mycotic sinusitis caused by Bipolaris.
We examined two patients with unilateral ophthalmologic findings secondary to pansinusitis caused by Bipolaris. Both patients were healthy young men. One patient had a gradual visual loss, whereas the other showed proptosis. Surgical debridement was the primary treatment in both patients. One patient received antifungal therapy, whereas the other was cured with surgery alone.
