    Abstract:
    Rhino-orbital-cerebral mucormycosis is an acute fungal infection of the oropharynx, paranasal sinuses, orbit and intracranial structures. It is rare, occurring mainly in diabetics in ketoacidosis. The clinical presentation is highly suggestive of the diagnosis. Current treatment has resulted in a greatly improved prognosis for survival and clinical awareness of this disease is important for early initiation of treatment with optimal effect. A clinico-pathological report of two cases is presented.
