Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
A case of 10 yrs. old type 1 diabetic male, who presented with left eye orbital cellulitis and lid necrosis. After promptdiagnosis of Rhinocerebral orbital mucormycosis the patient was debulked and was started with i.v amphotericin with renal monitoring along with blood sugar control, which resulted in patient survival. Hence we conclude that inspite of intracranial extension seen in MRI, high suspicion, promptdiagnosis, improvement of general condition and early intervention can be salvageable even in poor prognosis mucormycosis cases.
