Abstrakt: The clinical presentation of a sphenoid fungal ball (FB) is often non-specific and tends to be overlooked, particularly in hosts with an intact immune status. Rarely, potentially life-threatening complications may arise, owning its anatomical characteristics with contiguous structures. Herein, we present an unusual case of sphenoid FB complicated with orbital apex syndrome in an immunocompetent patient. The diagnosis dilemma and subsequent management are further discussed.
