Ocular and orbital phycomycosis.

J N Schwartz, E H Donnelly, G K Klintworth

    Survey of Ophthalmology

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Cerebro-rhino-orbital phycomycosis (CROP) primarily affects diabetics with metabolic acidosis. Early diagnosis and treatment, including antifungals and surgery, are crucial for survival due to high mortality.

    Area of Science:

    • Mycology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Ophthalmology

    Background:

    • Cerebro-rhino-orbital phycomycosis (CROP) is a rare, aggressive fungal infection.
    • It predominantly affects individuals with diabetes mellitus and metabolic acidosis.
    • Leukemia and lymphoma patients are also at risk.

    Observation:

    • CROP typically originates in the palate or paranasal sinuses.
    • The infection rapidly invades orbital structures, causing proptosis, vision loss, and ophthalmoplegia.
    • Fungal invasion of arteries leads to thrombosis and tissue infarction.

    Findings:

    • Rhizopus is the most frequently identified fungal genus in CROP cases.
    • Clinical manifestations provide strong diagnostic suspicion.
    • Arterial invasion and subsequent infarction are characteristic pathological features.

    Implications:

    • Prompt diagnosis and treatment are critical for improving patient outcomes.
    • Therapeutic strategies include managing underlying conditions, surgical debridement, and systemic amphotericin-B.
    • Despite treatment advances, CROP retains a high mortality rate, emphasizing the need for early detection.
