Invasive bony destructive orbital aspergillosis in an immunocompetent child: a case report
Invasive orbital aspergillosis with bone destruction of the orbital walls can occur in immunocompetent individuals, including children, without any predisposing factors. It can mimic other invasive orbital diseases, leading to delayed diagnosis and treatment, which may result in life-threatening outcomes if intracranial spread occurs. Therefore, timely orbital biopsy of the lesions is crucial.
