Abstract
Chronic rhinocerebral mucormycosis, as distinct from the acute fulminating form, has been previously unreported in the otolaryngology literature. We have observed two cases of chronic rhinocerebral mycormycosis with osteomyelitis and bony sequestration at 8 months and 2 years after apparent control of initial infection. In addition to the accepted management of early diagnosis, surgical debridement, an appropriate medical therapy, patients who have been successfully treated for acute and fulminating mucormycosis need long-term, close follow-up with further debridement should any chronic infection become evident.Keywords
