抄録
Two cases of aspergillosis of the paranasal sinuses are reported. The first case was a 30-year-old man who had a 5-month history of bilateral proptosis. Physical examination revealed nasal polyps in both middle meatus. A skin test for Aspergillus was positive. Laboratory study showed levels of serum IgE and IgE specific for Aspergillus level to be elevated significantly. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed pansinusitis with some bone erosion. The patient underwent bilateral Caldwell-Luc procedures and external sinus surgery (frontal, ethmoid and sphenoid sinuses). Histopathological examination showed thin septate hyphae in allergic mucin. The patient is now being treated with sinus irrigation and oral administration of fluconazole and suplatast tosilate. The second case was a 78-year-old man who had a 2-month history of nasal obstruction and a 3-week history of headaches. He also had a history of diabetes mellitus. Physical examination showed swelling of the nasal septum due to abscess. CT showed an abscess in the nasal septum and opacification of the left sphenoid sinus. There was no bone destruction. The patient underwent left sphenoid sinus surgery, and histopathological examination revealed aspergillosis of the sphenoid sinus. He presented with left visual disturbance and blepharoptosis 2 months after surgery. Ocoulusion of the internal carotid artery was revealed by MR angiography, and it was thought to be caused by intracranial invasion of aspergillus. Loss of consciousness and right hemiplegia ensued despite antifungal chemotherapy. The patient died about 1 year after the onset of symptoms. Case 1 was thought to involve allergic aspergillus sinusitis, and Case 2 inveasive aspergillus sinusitis. We emphasize the significance of headache, diabetes mellitus and lesion in the sphenoid sinus as a sigh of intracranial aspergillus invasion, based on our experience as well as findings reported by other clinicians in the Japanese literature.
