The distribution of materials in this composite image of the Nili Fossae region of Mars tells scientists that water resided there no more recently than nearly 4 billion years ago. Additionally, the process extended anteriorly through the optic nerve foramina and superior orbital fissures and was associated with a loss of normal fat planes bilaterally in the pterygopalatine fossae. In addition, infection may be transmitted through secretions because fungus was isolated from nasal fossae and cutaneous lesions and yeastlike elements were visualized in histologic sections of cutaneous biopsy specimens (3,9,12). |
