Abstract

ABSTRACT: This is a rare presentation of a unilateral optic nerve infarction of the left eye caused by mucormycosis in a 51-year-old man with poorly controlled Type 2 diabetes. Diffusion-weighted MRI of the orbit demonstrated extensive infarction of the left optic nerve with ipsilateral cavernous sinus thrombosis and periorbital adnexal inflammation. Left orbital exenteration and sinus debridement were performed, and mucormycosis involving the optic nerve sheath was confirmed on histopathology.
