    Zygomycosis, a rare fungal infection, can be fatal. Early diagnosis and aggressive treatment, including surgery and liposomal amphotericin B, are crucial for managing this invasive rhino-ocular disease.

    Area of Science:

    • Mycology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Ophthalmology

    Background:

    • Zygomycosis is a rare, highly invasive fungal infection with a high mortality rate.
    • This case highlights the rhino-ocular form, a severe manifestation.

    Observation:

    • A 67-year-old diabetic male presented with symptoms including headache, facial swelling, proptosis, and black nasal discharge.
    • Fungal elements invaded facial tissues, paranasal sinuses, and orbit, with tooth extraction as a potential entry point.

    Findings:

    • Microscopic examination of debridement tissue confirmed the causative agent.
    • The patient underwent extensive surgery (maxillectomy, ethmoidectomy, sphenoidectomy, orbital exenteration) and treatment with liposomal amphotericin B.

    Implications:

    • Early diagnosis and aggressive surgical debridement are vital for improving outcomes in zygomycosis.
    • Liposomal amphotericin B demonstrated effective fungal infection control with minimal adverse effects, suggesting its utility in treatment.
