Abstract
Rhinocerebral mucormycosis is a rare life-threatening fungal infection particularly jeopardized by delayed diagnosis and initiation of treatment. The incidence could be increasing due to longer survival of immune-suppressed patients. With the advent of newer antifungals, improvements in surgical techniques, and advances in diagnostic technology (both in the microbiology lab and in radiology), we have now the potential to ameliorate the ominous prognosis of this disease. Therefore, early clinical suspicion, diagnosis and empirical initiation of antifungal treatment are of paramount interest, now more than ever. We present a case of Rhinocerebral mucormycosis and review the clinical clues in magnetic resonance imaging and clinical suspicion tips for earlier diagnosis.
