A Case Report of Meningeal Mucormycosis with Autopsy Findings

A case of mucormycosis involving the basal meninges is reported. The brain substance was not involved. The paranssal sinuses are suggested as a primary focus, since there was clinical evidence of severe paranasal sinusits and the histopathological examination of the biopsy, taken from the sunus, revealed broad and nonseptate hyphae. There was no clinical evidence of diabetes and no other predisposing factors. The direct cause of death is presumably epidural hematoma occurred postperatively.
