Abstract

RHINO-ORBITAL MUCORMYCOSIS is an acute and fulminant infection that generally occurs in mmunocompromised patients. We report a 25 year-old female patient that presented with aute onset proptosis, total ophtalmoplegia and visual loss while receiving immunosupressive drugs 6 month after kidney transplantation. With the rhino-orbital mucurmycosis diagnosis immediate treatment was begun. Despite agressive surgical debridment and full course amphotericine B therapy, she lost her left eye vision completely. In immunocompromised patients such as diabetics or renal failure who present with orbital cellulitis, sudden onset onhtalmoplegia and ORBITAL APEX SYNDROME, RHINO-ORBITAL MUCORMYCOSIS must be considered as a possible cause. Immediate diagnosis and treatment may reduce the morbidity and mortality of this disease.
