摘要：

Mucormycosis is a rare fungal infection that typically involves the rhino-cerebral area with a high morbidity and mortality. Involvement of the parapharyngeal space and gastrointestinal tract with perforation is rare and may be related to dissemination of the disease. The current antifungal treatment has been shown to be inadequate with variable outcomes and is often instituted late in the disease process with unfortunate outcomes.
