Invasive sino-orbital aspergillosis is an uncommon but potentially life-threating complication of kidney transplantation. Here we report a case of a patient with invasive aspergillus fumigatus sinusitis extending into the orbit in a kidney transplant recipient who was successfully treated with voriconazole and surgical debridement without requiring orbital exenteration. This case illustrates a rare but life-threatening complication of immunosuppression that highlights the importance of suspecting and promptly recognizing fungal infection of the sinuses in vulnerable organ transplant recipients in order to avoid significant morbidity and mortality.
