|

|

Abstract
|
|
|
Rhinocerebral mucormycosis, which is a fulminant and progressive disease often seen in debilitated hosts. requires a high degree of clinical suspicion to promptly diagnose and aggressive medical and surgical therapy. The prognosis is grave,
especially
in case of bilateral cavernous sinus thrombosis.
We report a case of 69-year-old female patient with bilateral cavernous sinus thrombosis caused by rhinocerebral mucormycosis, who showed orbital swelling and lateral bulging of bilateral cavernous sinus in orbital CT, and large branching
nonseptate
hypae in biopsed specimen of the left periorbital necrotic tissue.
