 Fungus infection, particularly that due to mucormycosis, in the human being is still a rare disease. However, there is some evidence lately that its occurrence in the world has somewhat increased since the advent of antibiotic and steroid therapy.

 Fungus infection of deeper tissues, such as the brain, occurs secondarily through the blood stream and cavernous sinus which in turn receive their supply of invading organisms from the primary site of infection of the nose and paranasal sinuses. Consequently, the preventive measure and treatment for this disease is odscure, an early and thorough investigation should he made to establish a diagnosis and adopt a specific treatment.

 The authors present a case of mycotic granuloma situated in the right middle cranial fossa near the sphenoid. The patient was a Korean woman, aged 54, who complained of hemicrania for the past 1 year, pain in the eyeball with visual disturbance on the right side and intermittent attack of dizziness.
