  • Title: Looks like a stroke, acts like a stroke, but it's more than a stroke: a case of cerebral mucormycosis.
    Author: Ermak D, Kanekar S, Specht CS, Wojnar M, Lowden M.
    Journal: J Stroke Cerebrovasc Dis; 2014 Sep; 23(8):e403-e404. PubMed ID: 25106832.
    Abstract:
    Mucormycosis is a fungus that exhibits angiocentric growth and can cause a thrombotic arteritis. Infection with this organism is uncommon and cerebral involvement is most often secondary to direct invasion through the paranasal sinuses. Here, we present a case of mucormycosis with cerebral involvement without sinus disease, which resulted in ischemic stroke with rapid progression resulting in death.
