rhinoentomophthoromycosis /ri″no-en″to-mof″tho-ro-mi-ko′sis/ , the usual form of an infection by Conidiobolus coronatus, marked by development of large polyps in the subcutaneous tissues of the nose and paranasal sinuses. Orbital involvement with unilateral blindness may follow. Sometimes, especially in weak or immunocompromised patients, it can spread to the central nervous system and cause fatal rhinocerebral zygomycosis.
