Surviving laryngotracheal mucormycosis: conquering central airway challenges
摘要
Laryngotracheal mucormycosis presents a rare but critical challenge, particularly in immunocompromised individuals. This report details the case of a 31-year-old diabetic male who experienced central airway obstruction due to mucormycosis. Despite the complexity of managing airway involvement, a multidisciplinary approach involving airway debridement surgery, liposomal amphotericin B, and posaconazole resulted in successful airway mucor treatment and resolution. This case underscores the importance of early recognition, aggressive intervention, and collaborative care in managing life-threatening conditions.
