Abstract
• Cerebral mucormycosis was found at autopsy in a 27-year-old male narcotic addict with rapidly progressive focal neurologic signs. There was no evidence of rhinocerebral involvement or systemic illness, and a nuclide brain scan suggested brain abscess.This publication has 11 references indexed in Scilit:
