    Author: Munir N, Jones NS.
    Journal: J Laryngol Otol; 2007 Feb; 121(2):192-5. PubMed ID: 17134533.
    Abstract:
    Rhinocerebral mucormycosis is a devastating, rapidly progressive and often fatal opportunistic fungal infection predominantly affecting individuals with underlying metabolic and/or immunological compromise. Intracranial extension of the disease has invariably been associated with mortality.We present a review of optimum management of rhinocerebral mucormycosis and a case report of sinonasal mucormycosis with intracranial and orbital extension which was treated successfully with a combination of systemic liposomal amphotericin B therapy and wide surgical debridement.
