Aspergillosis is a deep-seated fungal infection caused by the fungus Aspergillus fumigatus. It is commonly seen among farmers, who frequently handle moist hay, which harbors the spores of the Aspergillus fungus. The infection is acquired by the inhalation of fungal spores and clinically manifests in immunocompromised patients. Such a case of Aspergillosis reported in a 50-year-old male patient with periorbital swelling and multiple sinuses near the lower left eyelid with a complaint of a non-healing socket after dental extraction and treated by coblation turbinoplasty under general anesthesia by endoscopic sinus surgery is described here.
