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.
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。
