title: [Rhino-orbito-cerebral zygomycosis (mucormycosis) in diabetes insipidus].
abstract: A case of rhino-orbito-cerebral zygomycosis in a diabetic patient treated with insulin is reported. Diagnosis was suspected because of extensive necrotic lesions of the face and was confirmed by mycologic tests. During hospital stay the patient developed a diabetes insipidus and the outcome was lethal because of the extension of lesions in spite of convenient antimycotic therapy.
