Enhanced MRI with 3D-T1-SPC sequence results of the patient (a standard dose of gadolinium). The MRI showed enhanced images of the right hypoglossal nerve (A), the posterior orbital wall (E), the facial nerve (B,C), and the trigeminal nerve (F,G) slightly (Red Arrow). Microscopic photograph showing hyphae and Sporangium (Black Arrow) in HE staining [(D), 400X].

The plain and enhanced 3D-SPACE sequence scanning showed abnormal enhancement of the right hypoglossal nerve, the facial nerve, the cisternal segment of the trigeminal nerve, the posterior wall of the orbit, the periphery of the right maxillary sinus, and the oral maxillofacial spaces (Figure 1). After 1 week, the patient was diagnosed with mucormycosis infection due to microscopic visualization of Molds hyphae (Figure 1).
