Abstract
We report three cases with rhinocerebral zygomycosis in two diabetic p ersons and one otherwise healthy person. The diagnosis was established by histopathological appearance and computerized tomography (CT) and/ or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans. These cases were successful ly treated by a combination of surgery and liposomal amphotericin B.
