摘要：
Rhinocerebral mucormycosis is a rapidly life-threatening disease caused by a fungal infection. Every diabetic patient with sinusitis symptoms, headache, and visual changes needs radiological approach and nasal endoscopy to rule out mucormycosis. The mortality rate is 50%-85%, despite an early diagnosis and a correct treatment.
