Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Neurology
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Isolated sphenoid sinus aspergillosis is rare and challenging to diagnose due to late-onset, misleading clinical signs.
  • Invasive forms typically affect immunosuppressed individuals, making this case in an immunocompetent host unusual.
  • Clinical presentation can mimic other serious conditions, such as pituitary pseudotumor, delaying diagnosis.
