Abstract：
BACKGROUND: Syncephalastrum spp. is a mucoral that rarely produces pathology. Fungal balls caused by this genus are infrequent. It requires early diagnosis and treatment to avoid associated morbidity and mortality.
METHODS: We describe two clinical cases of sinus fungus balls caused by Syncephalastrum spp. and review the literature.
RESULTS: Two patients were treated for sinus fungus balls. When their samples were analysed, the aetiology was determined to be Syncephalastrum spp. A case of pulmonary fungus ball due to Syncephalastrum spp. is described in the literature. All cases, including these described in the present study, had a good evolution after treatment.
CONCLUSIONS: Syncephalastrum spp. is a filamentous fungus that should be considered as an aetiology of sinus fungus ball.

摘要：
背景：Synheadastrumspp.是一种很少产生病理的粘液。由该属引起的真菌球很少见。它需要早期诊断和治疗以避免相关的发病率和死亡率。
方法：我们描述了由Syncephalerumspp引起的鼻窦真菌球的两例临床病例。并回顾文献。
结果：两名患者接受了鼻窦真菌球治疗。当他们的样本被分析时，病因被确定为Synheadastrumspp。Synheadastrumspp引起的肺真菌球一例。在文献中有所描述。所有案件,包括本研究中描述的这些，治疗后进化良好。
结论：合脑尾菌属。是一种丝状真菌，应被视为鼻窦真菌球的病因。
