Mucormycosis is a disease with a high percentage of mortality. This opportunistic disease is caused by pathogens of the Zygomicota family of the order Mucorales, which affect considerably, mainly immunocompromised patients. We present the case of a patient approached at the Central Military Hospital of Mexico, diagnosed with rhino-orbito-cerebral mucormycosis, with histopathological report of non-septated hyaline hyphae of 90º, referring to the aforementioned diagnosis. A multidisciplinary approach to the pathology was carried out with diagnosis, timely medical and surgical treatment, achieving a favorable evolution and prognosis in a condition whose outcome is usually fatal.
