진균성 부비동염에 의해 발생한 안구 주위 괴사성 근막염 1예

초록

Orbital complications due to sinusitis usually occur in children and spread from the ethmoid or frontal sinusitis. Periorbital necrotizing fasciitis, which is an aggressive infection characterized by extensive necrosis and gas formation in the fascia and subcutaneous tissue, is uncommon as an orbital complication due to sinusitis. Because most of orbital complications of the fungal sinusitis occur from invasive fungal infection in immunocompromised patients, orbital complications due to non-invasive maxillary fungal ball in healthy patients are extremely rare, especially if the complication is periorbital necrotizing fasciitis. We report a case of periorbital necrotizing fasciitis that occurred in a healthy 44-year-old male patient with non-invasive fungal sinusitis, which was treated with a combination of intravenous antibiotics and endoscopic sinus surgery and ophthalmologic surgical treatment.
