Sphenoid Allergic Fungal Disease is an uncommon disease, usually non-aggressive course, as reported in the literature. It is usually undiagnosed because of its atypical presentation. This series reports four cases of Sphenoid Allergic Fungal Disease presenting with distinct symptoms. This article describes the clinician's experience in the diagnosis and treatment of Sphenoid Allergic Fungal Disease. This article also stresses the importance of competency and expertise of the clinician to be more suspicious of the Sphenoid Allergic Fungal Disease in their routine clinical practice as it is not a usual diagnostic condition. This four-case series will also explain the importance of various investigative procedures and radiological fi ndings to be incorporated as required for diagnosing and treating the cases of Sphenoid Allergic Fungal Disease.

In recent years, outstanding progress has been made in the diagnosis and treatment of cardiomyopathies. Genetics is emerging as a primary point in the diagnosis and management of these diseases. However, molecular genetic analyses are not yet included in routine clinical practice, mainly because of their elevated costs and execution time. A patient-based and patient-oriented clinical approach, coupled with new imaging techniques such as cardiac magnetic resonance, can be of great help in selecting patients for molecular genetic analysis and is crucial for a better characterisation of these diseases. This article will specifically address clinical, magnetic resonance and genetic aspects of the diagnosis and management of cardiomyopathies.
