Sažetak
Onodi cells are anatomical variants of
the posterior ethmoidal cells, which are
greatly pneumatized laterally, and to some
degree superiorly, to the sphenoid sinuses.
Th e clinical importance of the Onodi cell
is that it contains the optic canal and lies
in close proximity to the optic nerve. Although
the incidence of Onodi cell pathologies
such as mucocele is extremely
low, they may cause ophthalmological
complications due to the close anatomical
proximity between the Onodi cell and the
optic nerve. Optic neuritis caused by aspergillosis
of the Onodi cell, presenting in
the Emergency Department as an aspergilloma
within a pyomucocele, has not been
reported previously. Here, we describe the
fi rst such case; the aspergilloma within the
pyomucocele was completely removed via
surgical endoscopy.
