Cerebritis, optic ischemia, and cavernous sinus thrombosis arising from sinonasal mucormycosis.

Brain and ocular infections can be the worst and fatal consequences of sinonasal infections in immunomodulated or immunocompromised patients. We report a case of a 35-year-old female who received an allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for acute myeloid leukemia, suffering from maxillo-spheno-ethmoidal rhinosinusitis which was complicated by cavernous sinus thrombosis, orbital cellulitis, optic ischemia and cerebritis.
