Özet: Aim: We aimed to present a case of rhinoorbital mucormycosis associated with high mortality and disability rates. Case: A 46-year-old male patient with a history of diabetes was admitted to our emergency department with complaints of drooping of the eyelid and loss of vision. The patient with a necrotic lesion on the palate was hospitalized with the diagnosis of rhinoorbitacerebral mucormycosis. Conclusion: In patients with a history of diabetes, periorbital cellulitis, loss of vision or neurological findings, mucor mokcosis should be kept in mind and the oropharynx should be examined thoroughly.
