Rhinoorbital mucormycosis: surgical aspects

S C Bessler et al. ORL J Otorhinolaryngol Relat Spec. 1994 Jul-Aug.

Abstract

The authors present a case of a young woman with a diabetic ketoacidosis and rhinoorbital mucormycosis, successfully treated by resection of necrotic areas without orbital exenteration. The favorable outcome was attributed to early diagnosis and immediate commencement of the adequate therapy, which included correction of diabetic ketoacidosis, debridement of devitalized tissue, daily irrigation of the involved areas with amphotericin B solution and application of intravenous amphotericin B.
