Abstract

Zygomycetes and Aspergillus are two opportunistic fungal pathogens which commonly infect para nasal sinuses and have predilection to invade blood vessels. We present here an unusual case of mixed rhino cerebral zygomycosis with aspergillosis from a diabetic patient who responded well to the timely treatment with amphotericin B and itraconazole with functional endoscopic surgery for sinuses.
