Rhinocerebral Mucormycosis:Management and Survival after Carotid Occlusion Ann Neurol 28:103-107, Galetta,S.L.,et al, 1990 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract Rhinocerebral mucormycosis is a rare but often fatal fungal infection.We present 2 patients with mucormycosis complicated by internal carotid artery thrombosis.Magnetic resonance imaging was superior to computed tomography in localizing the pathological process.Subtotal resection of devitalized tissue and intravenous amphotericin B therapy resulted in a successful outcome for both patients.Prompt recognition of this disorder by using modern diagnostic and therapeutic modalities promises to improve survival rates.
