Mucormycosis is an invasive fungal infection associated with high mortality. Orbital involvement was usually reported but was rarely isolated. We report the case of a 57-year-old patient who presented a proptosis associated to an ethmoid sinusitis. Inflammatory symptoms were late which was responsible for delayed diagnosis. Our patient died because of multi-organ failure.
毛霉菌病是一种侵袭性真菌感染，死亡率很高。眼眶受累情况常有报道，但孤立出现的情况很少见。我们报告一例57岁患者，其表现为与筛窦炎相关的眼球突出。炎症症状出现较晚，导致诊断延迟。我们的患者因多器官衰竭死亡。
