ABSTRACT

Mucormycosis is a rare, acute and frequently lethal disease caused by aerobic saprofit fungi and opportunists of the Mucoromycotina subdivision (before Zygomicota). Several clinical presentations have been described: rhino-orbital-cerebral, pulmonar, gastrointestinal, mucocutaneous and disseminate, rhino-orbital-cerebral mucormycosis (ROCM) is frequently associated To diabetic patients with inadequate control or hematological diseases. The rhino-orbital-cerebral presentation has a quick development with high morbidity and mortality in immunocompromised patients, with the need of a multidisciplinary medical and surgical approach. Case report of a patient with rhino-orbital-cerebral mucormycosis associated to uncontrolled diabetes mellitus DM2, palatine and cutaneous invasion, who was surgically treated with total bilateral maxillectomy, showed no evidence of recurrency in the next 16 months of follow up.
