Abstract

Central nervous system (CNS) mucormycosis is insidious and difficult to diagnose. It progresses rapidly and causes high mortality. Rare cases have been reported during ibrutinib use, which have poor prognosis. Through this case, we share the experience of successful diagnosis and treatment. We also emphasize the importance of focusing on high-risk groups, early diagnosis and prompt management.
