Rationale: To suggest a directing algorithm for rehabilitative management of complex soft and hard tissue defects due to mucormycosis. Patient Concerns: An utmost need for surgical, reconstructive and rehabilitative options; functional, aesthetic, acceptable to the patient and enduring rehabilitation. Diagnosis: Different cases of rhinomaxillary mucormycosis pertaining to the facial skeleton, diagnosed with the help of radiographic as well as fungal cultures. Treatment: Thorough medical assessment, and antifungal prescription; followed by surgical resection of the affected areas, rigorous follow-up scheme and later rehabilitation with the help of implants and immediate loading. Outcomes: Regular follow-ups for at least one year and successful rehabilitation providing acceptable functional outcomes. Take-away Lessons: Unconventional pathologies like rhinomaxillary mucormycosis infecting the jaws require novel, unprecedented and elaborate procedures both surgical and reconstructive based on sound scientific principles. There must be a vision for the rehabilitation of such cases right from the commencement of the surgical treatment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
