Since our knowledge is mostly based on case reports, a well-documented way of treatment for such cases is yet to be found.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Case Description A retrospective case series study was conducted at a tertiary hospital. Patients whose brain abscesses were treated without opening the dura during surgery were selected for the study. The patients received radical debridement of necrotic tissues as well as the infected bones adjacent to the brain abscess. Then, they were treated medically. Three patients were included in the study. All patients had a history of diabetes and COVID-19 before developing symptoms of sinonasal infection. The average size of the abscesses was less than 2 cm.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Conclusion Removing infected tissues and bones surrounding the brain abscess without opening the dura can be a viable treatment option for mucormycosis-induced brain abscesses of less than 2 cm.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/a-2821-4657","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,11]],"date-time":"2026-06-11T23:23:48Z","timestamp":1781220228000},"page":"e97-e100","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Brain Abscess Treatment Followed by Sinonasal Mucormycosis\u2014Report of Three Cases"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"87","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2979-9971","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mohammadreza","family":"Firouzifar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"AmirAlam Hospital, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Iran","place":["Tehran"],"department":["Otorhinolaryngology Research Center"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3688-9473","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Seyed Hadi","family":"Samimi Ardestani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"AmirAlam Hospital, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Iran","place":["Tehran"],"department":["Otorhinolaryngology Research Center"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7770-8950","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shirin","family":"Irani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"AmirAlam Hospital, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Iran","place":["Tehran"],"department":["Otorhinolaryngology Research Center"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1352-9814","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maliheh","family":"Akbarpour","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Guilan University of Medical Sciences, Gilan Province, Iran","place":["Rasht"],"department":["Department of Otolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery, School of Medicine, Otorhinolaryngology Research Center"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,11]]},"reference":[{"issue":"10","key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1210","DOI":"10.1016\/j.amjmed.2021.05.027","article-title":"Bacterial brain abscess: an outline for diagnosis and management","volume":"134","author":"C Corsini Campioli","year":"2021","journal-title":"Am J Med"},{"issue":"09","key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"806","DOI":"10.1212\/WNL.0000000000000172","article-title":"Clinical characteristics and outcome of brain abscess: systematic review and meta-analysis","volume":"82","author":"M C Brouwer","year":"2014","journal-title":"Neurology"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"8","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jocn.2016.12.035","article-title":"Microbiology and treatment of brain abscess","volume":"38","author":"I Brook","year":"2017","journal-title":"J Clin Neurosci"},{"issue":"01","key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1007\/s10096-006-0236-6","article-title":"Retrospective analysis of 49 cases of brain abscess and review of the literature","volume":"26","author":"J Carpenter","year":"2007","journal-title":"Eur J Clin Microbiol Infect Dis"},{"issue":"04","key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1637","DOI":"10.1093\/brain\/awac312","article-title":"DASGIB study group.
