Abstract

Rhino-orbital mucormycosis is a fatal infection. Decompensated diabetes is the most common predisposing factor. Two male adults were admitted because of newly diagnosed diabetes with hyperglycemic hyperosmolar state and CT scan showed extensive pansinusitis and orbital inflammation. Treatment included surgical debridement and antifungal therapy. One patient died from a severe sepsis.
