Abstract: PURPOSE To assess whether transcutaneous retrobulbar amphotericin B injections (TRAMB) reduce exenteration rate without increasing mortality in rhino-orbital-cerebral mucormycosis (ROCM). METHODS In this retrospective case-control study, 46 patients (51 eyes) with biopsy-proven ROCM were evaluated… read more here.
