| Popis: | A 61-year-old man with well-controlled diabetes mellitus type 2, cirrhosis from hepatitis C, alcohol abuse, and portal hypertension presented with painful vision loss and left orbital swelling. Imaging showed diffuse orbital, perineural, and pachymeningeal inflammation. He was initially diagnosed with neurosarcoidosis. However, cerebrospinal fluid analysis revealed central nervous system lymphoma, and lacrimal gland biopsy showed fungal organisms consistent with mucormycosis. The authors describe a case of Mucorales infection lacking sinonasal involvement and discuss the differential diagnosis and management of patients presenting with orbital and central nervous system inflammation from this uncommon fungal infection. |
