title: Rhino-orbital cerebral mucormycosis.
abstract: Rhino-orbital cerebral mucormycosis is the most common manifestation of mucormycosis. In debilitated or acidotic patients, the presence of necrotic tissue should alert the examiner to the possibility of mucormycosis. Radical operation and proper management with early diagnosis should increase the patient's chance of survival.
