Abstract

|
|
Purpose: To report upon several cases of rhino-orbito-cerebral mucormycosis with variable clinical manifestations including ocular symptoms.
Methods: We documented three patients with rhino-orbital-cerebral mucormycosis and uncontrolled diabetes.
Results: The patients presented variable ophthalmic symptoms including blepharoptosis, ophthalmoplegia, visual disturbance, visual field defect and ocular pain. Despite administration of an antifungal agent within two days, all of the patients died.
Conclusion: We reported the cases of three patients with rhino-orbito-cerebral mucormycosis presenting ophthalmic symptoms with a literature review. Variable initial symptoms were emphasized in making diagnosis of rhino-orbito-cerebral mucormycosis. J Korean Ophthalmol Soc 48(4):593-598, 2007
