Aspergillosis: An Unusual Case of Orbital Apex Syndrome

Background

Orbital apex syndrome (OAS) is defined by a combination of multiple ocular motor cranial nerve palsies (III, IV, VI), sensory loss in the distribution of V 1, and optic nerve dysfunction. The likelihood of OAS increases with the number of cranial nerves involved [1]. Symptoms of OAS may include visual loss, diplopia, periorbital or facial pain, and proptosis. Etiologies include trauma, vascular disease, tumor, inflammation or infection.
