title: [Mucorales infection in diabetics].
abstract: Naso-orbito-cerebral mucormycosis is a fungal infection reported to occur especially in association with diabetes mellitus. Mucorales germinate in the nasal cavities and then colonize sinuses and the orbit. The diagnosis must be made before meningeal and cerebral impairement. The diagnosis is based on histologic and mucologic examination. Once the diagnosis is confirmed, treatment required high and prolonged dose of intravenous Amphotericine B, otherwise the evolution is fatal.
