Mucor endophthalmitis.
Acta Ophthalmologica Scandinavica 2001 Februrary
PURPOSE: To report on a case of type 2 diabetes, with eyelid gangrene and endophthalmitis as a presenting manifestation of rhino-orbito-cerebral mucormycosis.
RESULTS: CECT head showed proptosis, mucosal thickening in the ethmoid sinus and hypodense lesions in the frontal and occipital lobes. Vitreous tap showed right angle branched aseptate hyphae consistent with mucormycosis.
CONCLUSIONS: A diabetic patient presenting with sudden loss of vision, eyelid gangrene and endophthalmitis, involvement by an angio-invasive fungus-like mucormycosis is an important consideration.
