We report on an elderly male patient with headache and right-side weakness. Imaging studies revealed multiple space-occupying lesions in the parietal and occipital cerebral regions. Biopsy revealed broad aseptate ribbon-like structures branching at right angles, suggestive of mucormycosis. Improvement was observed after medical therapy with 20 weeks of liposomal amphotericin B (5 mg/kg/day) combined with posaconazole, followed by posaconazole (400 mg twice a day) alone for 1 month. The patient recovered without neurological deficits; however, multidrug-resistant bacteraemia and hospital-acquired pneumonia occurred, resulting in death.Nevertheless, our report shows that this lethal fungal infection can sometimes show favourable progress with drug therapy alone.

Eagles syndrome or stylohyoid syndrome is a rare condition where slender elongated temporal styloid process or ossified stylohyoid ligament manifest a wide range of symptoms including otalgia, dysphagia, foreign body sensation in throat, pain in retrogonia or along anterolateral neck. It occurs mostly unilaterally however bilateral cases are also reported. Multislice computed tomography with maximum intensity projections reconstructions is used for diagnosis and management purposes. It also aids to see its compressive effect on adjacent anatomical structures

Wegener's granulomatosis (WG) is an idiopathic vasculitic and autoimmune process that typically involves the upper and lower respiratory tracts. In this case report we describe a patient who had an incidental finding of a septal perforation. A thorough evaluation led to the diagnosis of Wegener's granulomatosis.
