title: Aspergillous sinusitis.
abstract: Chronic invasive aspergillous sinusitis is an uncommon disease that usually occurs in healthy individuals. Chronic invasive aspergillus sinusitis is inadequately characterized entity. Despite its rarity, it is going to be recognized increasingly. We report a neglected patient who received several courses of antibiotics before definite diagnosis. Clinical manifestations, differential diagnosis and treatment are discussed. A high degree of awareness for an early diagnosis may participate to improve the poor prognosis.
