Abstract
IntroductionSyncephalastrum spp. is a mucoral that rarely produces pathology. Fungal balls caused by this genus are infrequent. It requires early diagnosis and treatment to avoid associated morbidity and mortality. MethodsWe describe two clinical cases of sinus fungus balls caused by Syncephalastrum spp. and review the literature. ResultsTwo 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. ConclusionsSyncephalastrum spp. is a filamentous fungus that should be considered as an aetiology of sinus fungus ball.
