A team approach of Otolaryngologists, Ophthalmologists, and Neurosurgeons is recommended for this slowly growing but locally destructive disease. Most patients with AFS will present with headaches and nasal obstruction. While most cases of AFS can be successfully managed with transnasal endoscopic techniques, orbitotomy and craniotomy represents an effective treatment for severe AFS cases with extensive intracranial and intraorbital involvement. This disease is found most commonly in young African American males and in the underinsured.
