Abstract
Mucor is a saprophytic fungus. Although it commonly invades the nose and the paranasal sinuses, cutaneous, pulmonary or gastrointestinal lesions may also be seen and haematogenous spread to other sites can also occur. The predisposing factors include Diabetes Mellitus and other conditions causing immunocompromized state. However, rare cases without any underlying disorder have been also reported. This case is described to demonstrate rarer neurological presentation of Oto-cerebral Mucormycosis rather than the well recognized rhino-orbito-cerebral form. Early diagnosis and institution of treatment is the mainstay to successful therapy.
