Abstract

We report a case of a rare fungal orbital infection in an infant presenting with dacryocystitis. The causative organism was Conidiobolus sp. of the order Entomophthorales. There is no standard treatment for entomophthoramycosis. Our patient responded well to combined antifungal therapy without aggressive surgical débridement. © 2011 Informa Healthcare USA, Inc.
