Abstract
Invasive fungal sinusitis is a life-threatening condition encountered in ENT practice which has a significant morbidity and mortality to the patient while the treatment itself consists of potential risks. The pathology carries a high economic burden on the healthcare infrastructure. This case series presents a series of six patients diagnosed and managed for invasive fungal sinusitis at an ENT subunit of the National Hospital Sri Lanka within a three-month duration.
