Abstract

Fungus balls or mycetomas are extramucosal and noninvasive accumulations of degenerating fungal hyphae. In head and neck they may localized most frequently in the paranasal sinuses, especially in the maxillary sinus. These indolent infections are mostly caused by Aspergillus spp. In this article, we present two rare fungus ball cases: one occurring in an automastoidectomy cavity of a temporal bone and the other in a concha bullosa. Typically, both patients admitted with vague symptoms consistent with chronic infection resistant to conventional antibacterial medication.

Abstract

Fungus topları veya miçetomalar, dejenerasyon gös- teren fungal hiflerin ekstramukozal ve noninvazif birikimlerinden oluşur. Baş boyun bölgesinde en sık paranazal sinüslerde, özellikle maksiller sinüste yer- leşim gösterirler. Bu sinsi enfeksiyonlara çoğunlukla Aspergillus suşları neden olmaktadır. Bu makalede biri temporal kemiğin otomastoidektomi boşluğunda ve diğeri konka bulloza içerisinde yerleşimli iki nadir fungus topu olgusu sunuldu. Tipik olarak her iki hasta da konvansiyonel antibakteriyel tedaviye yanıt vermeyen ve kronik enfeksiyonla uyumlu muğlak semptomlar sergilemekteydi
