ABSTRACT

Non Invasive Mucormycosis limited to paranasal sinus: 2 cases report and literature review.
The Mucormycosis is a disease cause for some species of fungus. to find in the phicomicetes.
The etiologic agents belong be a type of: Mucor, Absidia, Rhizopus, Mortierella, Basidiobolus, Entomophotora, and hyphomyces.
All them a contamination of the culture because they are ubicuos.
The mucormycosis is a mycosis caused for opportunist’s fungus, no still predisposition in age or sex. However is frequent in Ketoacidosis and other diseases, which suprime the cellular immunity’s a fungus infection commonly with fatal consecuences is cosmopolitan delivery.
The clinics symptoms are be under the disease place: the nasosinusal ficomicosis, orbit and central nervous systems is generality the acute curse, can cause the death in 3 to 10 days.begans in the mucosa and paranasal sinus afterward it’s disseminate to orbit and producing in it’s steps a severe cellulites and after thrombosis with tisular necrosis.
We now show 2 cases of focal mucormycosis without invasion, locate one in maxillary sinus, and the other one in sphenoid sinus, rated with paranasal sinus debridate and systemic antifungal drugs.
The condition of the 2 cases is symptomatic until today.
