Case Report: Rhizopus arrhizus Rhino-Orbital-Cerebral Mycosis and Lethal Midline Granuloma: Another Fungal Etiological Agent

Unilateral rhino–orbital–cerebral mucormycosis with contralateral endogenous fungal endophthalmitis

Rhino-orbital-cerebral mucormycosis (ROCM) is an uncommon but fatal fungal infection. We report a rare case of unilateral ROCM with ipsilateral central retinal artery occlusion and contralateral choroiditis, which later progressed to endogenous fungal endophthalmitis.

Computed Tomography of Lethal Midline Granuloma

In order to clarify the CT findings oflethal midline granuloma (LMG) diagnosed clinically or histopathologically , the authors retrospectively analyzed 12 patients who were seen at Kyungpook National University Hospital from February 1985 to August 1989. CT showed nasal mucosal thickening and/or soft tissue mass (9 cases) , spreading of the lesions along the facial subcutaneous fat plane (8 cas...
