Rhinoccerebral mucormycosis is an acute fulminant opportunistic fungal infection in debilitated patients with underlying pathologic conditions, which are diabetic ketoacidosis, immunosuppressed disease.
We experienced a case of rhinocerebral mucormycosis. The patient was 41 year-old female, who had diabetes for five years and suffered from left facial swelling and pain, left ophthalmoplegia and facial skin necrosis. Total maxillectomy was done combined with systemic Amphotericin B Therapy, Biopsy proved mucormycosis but she expired.
