Mucormycosis: An unusual cause of unilateral exophthalmia

摘要

Mucormycosis is an invasive fungal infection associated with high mortality. Orbital involvement was usually reported but was rarely isolated. We report the case of a 57-year-old patient who presented a proptosis associated to an ethmoid sinusitis. Inflammatory symptoms were late which was responsible for delayed diagnosis. Our patient died because of multi-organ failure.
