Rhinocerebral mucormycosis: perineural spread via the trigeminal nerve

Sebnem Orguc et al. J Clin Neurosci. 2005 May.

Abstract

We report a case of rhinocerebral mucormycosis associated with an abscess in the lateral aspect of the pons associated with perineural spread of disease via the trigeminal nerve. Contrast enhanced MRI was useful in depicting the extent of the disease and suggesting perineural spread. A pathological diagnosis of mucormycosis was established by means of rhino-orbital punch biopsy.
