The authors present seven cases of rhinocerebral mucormycosis associated to diabetes mellitus, which is a disease with epidemic proportions affecting individuals worldwide, particularly in developing countries, and poses significant morbidity mortality. Mucormycosis an opportunistic fungal infection high mortality requires invasive therapeutic approach save the patient’s life sequelae, thus pre...

Mucormycosis is a life-threatening fungal infection caused by group of moulds known as mucormycetes. It viral disease, increasingly progressive, rapidly triggers in diabetic, immunocompromised and trauma patients. Diabetic patients seem to have the classic rhinocerebral variant. Rhinocerebral mucormycosis begins nasal cavity, paranasal sinus, orbital soft tissue infection. In immunocompetent pa...
