Abstract
Management of invasive aspergillosis of the paranasal sinuses requires sufficient experience to initiate appropriate investigations and then utilize the correct treatment protocol. Computed tomography (CT) or m agnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is essential to show the extent of the disease and diagnosis is confirmed by histological analysis. Aspergil lus flavus is a ubiquitous soil saprophyte in the Sudan and is respons ible for many cases originating from this area. The literature is revi ewed and treatment options discussed.
