Invasive fungal otitis media with peripheral facial paralysis
Invasive fungal otitis media is clinically rare and diagnosis often delayed. We report a 65-year-old female with <i>Aspergillus fumigatus</i> otitis media complicated by mastoiditis and peripheral facial paralysis. Complete mastoidectomy and type II tympanoplasty, with oral administration of voriconazole for more than 3 months resulted in a successful outcome.
