A Successful Combined Endovascular and Surgical Treatment of A Cranial Base Mucormycosis With An Associated Internal Carotid Artery Pseudoaneurysm
Neurosurgery, 10/07/09

Alvernia JE et al. – Aggressive multimodal therapy is imperative for late–stage rhinocerebral mucormycosis. Extensive resection of infected tissue combined with amphotericin B, atorvastatin, and hyperbaric oxygen seems to be the best course of management. If the internal carotid artery is involved, endovascular intervention is clearly an option to attain this goal. Further research and longer follow–up periods are required to better understand the long–term implications of endovascular coiling and hyperbaric oxygen therapy for rhinocerebral mucormycosis.
