title: [Orbital and ocular mucormycosis].
abstract: A case of mucormycosis in a 46-year-old woman with acute lymphoblastic leukemia is described. The typical clinical findings, diagnostic procedures, and therapeutic considerations are discussed. Mucormycosis is a rare complication in immunocompromised patients. Early ophthalmological diagnosis and rigorous therapy may improve the course of this otherwise fatal disease.
