摘要
Rhinocerebral mucormycosis is a rare angioinvasive fungal infection that has a strong predilection for patients with poorly controlled diabetes and immunosuppression. Initial presenting symptoms are nonspecific and frequently are attributed to more mundane sinonasal and orbital pathologies. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential for survival and minimizing neurologic sequelae. CT and MR imaging are often used in the diagnostic work-up; however, CT findings are nonspecific.
