Abstract
To present a new method of surgical treatment for rhino-orbital mucormycosis. We treated a patient with extensive surgical debridement of mucormycosis with intraoperative frozen section guidance. The patient did not require exenteration. Our patient survived with normal vision and no diplopia. Frozen section-guided surgical debridement in rhino-orbital mucormycosis may provide an alternative to traditional radical surgical excision. In selected cases, this new method of treatment may cause less morbidity than do traditional treatments.
