ABSTRACT
Orbital exenteration is occasionally required for rhino-orbital cerebral mucormycosis. Multiple associated comorbidities can pose a risk for general anesthesia. There is only 1 report of exenteration being performed under trigeminal nerve block. We describe 5 patients who underwent orbital exenteration under local infiltration anesthesia with sedation. Patients and surgeons reported satisfactory conditions, with stable hemodynamics and successful day care management. Orbital exenteration under local infiltration anesthesia can be a safe and effective alternative for patients with rhino-orbital mucormycosis who are at risk with use of general anesthesia.
