[Mucormicosis of paranasal sinuses: benign type. Report of one case].

Abstract

Rhinocerebral mucormycosis is a severe, often fulminant, infection. However, there is evidence of more benign mucormycosis limited to paranasal sinuses and the orbit. We report a case of paranasal mucormycosis treated successfully with endoscopic nasosinusal surgery and amphotericin B.
