Cerebral mucormycosis without systemic foci of involvement is a rare life-threatening fungal infection that is reported to be more common in intravenous drug abusers. We present a case of isolated cerebral mucormycosis in a diabetic patient diagnosed through excision and biopsy and treated with combination of surgery and amphotericin with posaconazole.
