Summary

Isolated sphenoid fungal sinusitis is a relatively rare disease with non-specific symptoms. The most common symptom is headache and the typical symptoms of sinusitis may be completely absent. A CT examination with specific radiological signs plays an important role in the diagnostic process but the definitive diagnosis is determined by a histological examination. Due to the location of the sphenoid sinus, in some cases, the delayed diagnosis may cause serious consequences. The article presents a case report of a patient with isolated mycotic inflammation of the sphenoid sinus. The aim of the article is to point out the non-specific symptoms of the disease and the typical radiological signs that can help us in the diagnostics.

Keywords:

headache – sphenoid sinus – mycotic inflammation
