case_images: Physical examination and CT image of the patient during administration. The ocular signs of physical examination on day 1 after admission (A-C). The orbital CT image on day 1 after admission showed bilateral maxillary and ethmoid sinusitis (D). The head CT image on day 3 after admission showed swelling of soft tissue around the right orbit, slightly aggravated compared to the first day after admission (E). The head CT image on day 4 after admission showed a low-density shadow in the bilateral frontal lobe and right anterior horn of the lateral ventricle (F).

Computed tomography (CT) imaging of the head revealed bilateral maxillary and ethmoid sinusitis ( Figure 1D ). The result of a recheck of the head CT revealed the worsening of right eye swelling ( Figure 1E ). The head CT showed low-density shadows in the bilateral frontal lobe and right anterior horn of the lateral ventricle, as well as sinusitis ( Figure 1F ).
