Out of 118 patients, 17 patients were given Retrobulbar Amphotericin-B injection of which 13 recovered well.5 orbital exenterations were done, out of which one patient survived. Conclusion: Retrobulbar Amphotericin ?B injection serves important role in preventing spread of fungus to the brain and improving mortality.
