Article Abstract
Invasive fungal sinusitis is a rare and potentially fatal infection that tends to occur in immunocompromised hosts. Presented is the case of a 33-year-old immunocompetent male with several months of recurrent facial and nasal pain refractory to several antibacterial courses before a diagnosis of invasive sinusitis was made. The patient's symptoms and infection were successfully treated with a combination of surgical debridement and voriconazole. The authors review the epidemiology, risk factors, diagnosis, and treatment of invasive fungal sinusitis due to .

Fungal cerebral aneurysms, particularly those resulting from direct invasion by fungal sinusitis, are rare and often fatal when involving the cavernous segment of the internal carotid artery (ICA). We present a case of a ruptured fungal ICA aneurysm caused by sinusitis, successfully treated with parent artery occlusion (PAO). In this case, an 80-year-old woman presented with right ptosis, facial pain, and cranial nerve III, IV, and VI palsies.

Background: Though rare, sphenoid sinusitis can cause abducens nerve palsy because of the anatomical proximity of the sphenoid sinus and the abducens nerve.
Case Presentation: A male patient in his late seventies presented with double vision and left abducens nerve palsy. Imaging revealed sinus opacifications later identified as due to Scedosporium apiospermum, a rare fungal pathogen.

Bacterial meningitis and infectious cavernous sinus thrombosis (CST) are both life-threatening central nervous system infections, often caused by sinusitis. While cerebrovascular complications are well-recognized in bacterial meningitis, their association with CST is rare. A 69-year-old man presented with a 19-day history of headache, followed by diplopia.

A variety of pathologies and anatomical variations contribute to the underreporting of pediatric paranasal sinus disorders. The frontal sinus presents significant risk for complications due to its proximity to the orbit and brain. Three cases encountered in a tertiary hospital are discussed in this study to illustrate the usefulness of endonasal endoscopic methods in addressing pediatric frontal sinus lesions.

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between the clinical and radiological characteristics of olfactory groove meningiomas (OGMs) and their molecular profiles.
Methods: The authors performed targeted next-generation and whole-genome sequencing in 123 OGM samples collected from 4 international institutions, focusing on known meningioma-driver genes. They compared the molecular data with the clinical and radiographic features of the tumors.
