ABSTRACT Mucormycosis is a fatal infection of the immunocompromised individuals. It is unusual to affect healthy individuals. The main aim of this case report is to highlight the role of amphotericin B emulsion in this disease. The case was managed in our setup with surgical debridement and followed by amphotericin B emulsion for 4 weeks. We did not notice hypokalemia and renal function test abnormality in the entire course of the treatment. We present the case and the review of the literature of newer lipid complex amphotericin.

AbstractObjective:To report an unusual case of fungal mastoiditis caused by entomophthorales in an immunocompetent patient, and its management.Method:Case report with a review of the literature.Case report:A 13-year-old girl presented to us with a mastoid abscess. Entomophthoromycotic infection of the mastoid was diagnosed on histopathological examination, and subsequently treated with surgical debridement and amphotericin B injection.Conclusion:This is the first reported case of mastoid abscess secondary to entomophthoromycosis. Early detection and treatment contributed to this patient's good outcome.

AbstractSinus pericranii (SP) are abnormal vascular connections between extracranial scalp venous channels and intracranial dural sinuses. This vascular abnormality rarely results in significant sequelae, but in select cases, it can be symptomatic. We describe the case of a 7-year-old girl with an SP who experienced intermittent visual, motor, and sensory symptoms not previously described in the literature. Her symptoms resolved after surgical treatment of the SP. We propose a mechanism for her symptoms and the rationale for the role of neurosurgical intervention along with a review of the literature.
