Mucormycosis with Orbital Apex Syndrome in a Renal Transplant Recipient

Mukormikozis nadir görülen mortalitesi yüksek invaziv bir mantar enfeksiyonudur. Solid organ transplantasyonu mukormikoz için risk faktörlerinden birisidir. Mukormikoz anatomik yerleşim yerleri temel alındığında; rinoserebral, pulmoner, kutanöz, gastrointestinal, dissemine ve sık rastlanılmayan diğer tutulumlar olmak üzere altı farklı grup olarak sınıflandırılabilmektedir. Bu yazıda böbrek transplantasyonu alıcısında orbital apeks sendromu ile prezente olan rinoorbito-serebral tutulumu olan mukormikoz olgusu sunulmuştur

Bir Böbrek Transplantasyon Alıcısında Orbital Apeks Sendromu ile Seyreden Mukormikoz

Mucormycosis is a rarely encountered invasive fungal infection with high mortality.Solid organ transplantation is one of the risk factors for mucormycosis. Mucormycosis can be classified in six different groups according to the anatomical localization; rhinocerebral, pulmonary, cutaneous, gastrointestinal, disseminated, and other less common involvements. This paper presented a mucormycosis case with rhinoorbitocerebral involvementin a renal transplantation receiver, which manifested with orbital apex syndrome
