Fungi, though rare, are increasingly being recognised as causative agent of rhino-sinusitis. Invasive fungal sinusitis (IFS) is commonly seen in immunocompromised patients, the common culprits being *Aspergillus* and *Mucor*. These can cause rapid intracranial spread causing various systemic complications. Reported cases of IFS caused by *Candida* are few and far between. *Candida* is a yeast like fungus and a commensal in the oral cavity and skin. We report an exclusive case of invasive sphenoidal sinusitis caused by *Candida tropicalis* leading to compression of cavernous sinus causing ophthalmoplegia in a healthy patient and responded well to antifungals.
