Abstract


Objectives: To study of clinical characteristcs in deceased patients from Acute invasive fungal rhinosinusitis (AIFRS)  


Methods: Retrospective Cross sectional Descriptive study was performed for AIFRS between January 2012 and December 2022. Medical records were reviewed for patient demographics, underlying condition, presenting symptoms, disease extent on examination, biopsy results, medical and surgical therapy, times of surgery, absolute neutrophil count, time to treat, length of stay, and outcome.


results: Twenty-four patients with AIFRS were included, 66.7% men, with mean age of 50.4±21.81. The overall mortality rate was 50%, with the most common underlying disease was Diabetes mellitus (83.3%). Proptosis, ptosis, and vision impairment were the most frequent symptoms (50%) and disease extension to orbit (50%). Mucormycosis was identified 100% in deceased cases. Time to treat was 6.5 days.


Conclusion: AIFRS is the aggressive disease with high mortality rate. Timely diagnosis is necessary to improve patient outcomes. Complication of orbit or intracranial is poor prognosis.
