Neuromucormycosis of Posterior Tibial Nerve: A Rare Presentation of Mucormycosis.

Opportunistic fungal infections are known to occur in immunocompromised patients. Mucormycosis is one of the most common opportunistic fungal infections with significant mortality rates. In this article, we present a case of an adult female, a known diabetic who presented with fever and pus discharge from the amputation site of toes in the left foot with blackening of the foot. Examination revealed gangrenous changes of the left foot with no distal pulses palpable. Computed tomography angiogram revealed no flow of blood in distal vessels of the left lower limb. Left below knee guillotine amputation was done. Intraoperative biopsy of the neurovascular bundle revealed invasive neuromucormycosis. She was started on liposomal amphotericin B. The wound started granulating after a few days with serial dressings and the patient was planned for split skin grafting.
