Aspergillosis Causing Orbital Subperiosteal Abscess in an Immunocompetent Child: A Rare Presentation.

Abstract

Orbital abscesses are primarily seen in children as complication of ethmoid bacterial sinusitis. We report a case of invasive aspergillosis causing orbital abscess in an immunocompetent child which resolved with surgery followed by antifungal therapy. This case highlights need for histopathological, and microbiological examination, including fungal culture in such cases.
