Auricular mucormycosis complicated by parotid abscess and facial paralysis: A very rare case report

Abstract

Mucormycosis is a serious and relatively rare invasive fungal infection. The rhino-orbito-cerebral localization is the most frequent. Mucormycosis of external ear with facial palsy is extremely rare. We describe a case of mucormycosis of the external ear complicated by parotid abscess and facial palsy in a diabetic patient.
