Case Studies

Disseminated mucormycosis presenting with lower extremity weakness

WR von Pohle

Mucormycosis is an uncommon, but important opportunistic fungal infection. The most commonly reported areas of infection are pulmonary, rhinocerebral and cutaneous. It has only rarely been reported to cause peripheral neurological symptoms. This report presents the case of a patient who presented with ascending paralysis due to pulmonary mucormycosis. The presentation is believed to be due to a lesion which abutted the vertebral column and caused infarction of the spinal cord.
