摘要：

Rhinocerebral mucormycosis is a rare life-threatening infection caused by fungi from the order Mucorales. Because of its rapid progression and high mortality, early recognition and aggressive treatment offers the only chance to increase the survival rate. A case of rhinocerebral mucormycosis in a diabetic male patient typically presenting as fever, left periorbital pain and nasal eschar is reported. The clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and treatment of rhinocerebral mucormycosis are discussed.
