A 56-year-old woman with severe mucormycosis had previously undergone multiple debridements by the ENT and oculoplastic surgery team leading to a “frozen eye.” She presented with intracranial invasion in the orbital apex, cavernous sinus, and the trigeminal nerve. She underwent embolization of the ICA after confirming collateral flow and complete cavernous sinus exenteration. The patient recovered well from surgery and is now 9 months free of disease.
