Sudden blindness and total ophthalmoplegia in mucormycosis. A clinicopathological correlation.

J A Downie1, I C Francis, J J Arnold, L M Bott, S Kos.   

Abstract

A case of rhino-orbitocerebral mucormycosis is presented, illustrating the serious nature of this disease. Clinical features and their pathological correlations are demonstrated. The need for a high index of clinical suspicion, and an early biopsy of the affected area is emphasized so that the benefits of early diagnosis and therapy may be gained.
