Prosopagnosia01:24

Prosopagnosia

1.3K
Prosopagnosia, also known as face blindness, is the inability to recognize faces. In severe cases, individuals with prosopagnosia may not recognize close family members, including parents and spouses, by their faces. For instance, someone with prosopagnosia might walk past their child in a crowd, only realizing their mistake upon noticing their child's distinctive backpack or favorite jacket. Prosopagnosia specifically impairs facial recognition, while the recognition of other objects or...

Viral Meningitis01:18

Viral Meningitis

199
Viral meningitis is the most common form of meningitis and is often referred to as aseptic meningitis to indicate the absence of bacterial involvement. It is generally milder than bacterial meningitis, with symptoms including fever, headache, stiff neck, drowsiness, nausea, photophobia, and vomiting. Rarely, more severe manifestations or death may occur. Common causative agents include enteroviruses, particularly coxsackie A and B viruses and echoviruses, all members of the Enterovirus genus...

Brain Abscess l: Introduction

21
A brain abscess is a focal, intracerebral infection characterized by a localized collection of pus within the brain parenchyma, resulting from microbial invasion and the body’s inflammatory response. It progresses through stages: early and late cerebritis, followed by early and late capsule formation, reflecting tissue destruction, immune response, and eventual encapsulation.Etiology and PathogenesisCausative organisms vary with source and host factors, often involving polymicrobial...

Summary

Post COVID-19 invasive fungal sinusitis can cause facial palsy, particularly in diabetic patients. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) helps identify lesion sites like the pterygopalatine fossa and petrous apex.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Neurology

Background:

  • Post-COVID-19 complications include invasive fungal sinusitis.
  • Facial nerve palsy (7th cranial nerve palsy) can be a rare manifestation.
  • Understanding the correlation between clinical presentation and imaging is crucial for diagnosis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the presentations of post-COVID-19 invasive fungal sinusitis with 7th cranial nerve palsy.
  • To correlate topodiagnostic tests and radiological findings to pinpoint the lesion's location.
  • To identify risk factors associated with this condition.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective study of 11 patients at a tertiary care hospital.
  • Inclusion criteria: Post-COVID-19 invasive fungal sinusitis with facial palsy.
  • Data collection: Detailed history, clinical examination, and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI).

Main Results:

  • Mean patient age was 44.8 years; male to female ratio was 4.5:1.
  • Diabetes Mellitus was a significant immunosuppressive factor (11/11 patients).
  • MRI revealed pterygopalatine fossa involvement in 10 patients and petrous apex involvement in 4 patients.

Conclusions:

  • Post-COVID-19 invasive fungal sinusitis can manifest with facial palsy.
  • Diabetes Mellitus is a key contributing factor to immunosuppression in these cases.
  • MRI is valuable for localizing lesions, with pterygopalatine fossa and petrous apex being potential sites.
