Five cases of mucormycosis in paranasal sinuses.
Five cases of mucormycosis are reported, 2 of them suffered from immunosuppression, the other 3 did not. We conclude that a combination of CT and bacteriological findings is useful for the diagnosis of mucormycosis differentially from other diseases. Therapy consisted of paranasal debridement and administration of amphotericin B.
