Abstract
We report a patient who was investigated for occipital head ache with no rhino-orbital symptoms developing a rapidly progressing mucormycosis, with the only initial sign being isolated nasopharyngeal wall necrosis. High degree of suspicion and prompt treatment was key to the successful treatment of this patient.
