Mucormycosis is a rare and highly lethal fungal infection, with a subtle clinical presentation but aggressive spread via angioinvasion. It is uncommon and typically seen in immunocompromised patients but can also be a serious complication after traumatic injuries. Recognition of this disease requires high clinical suspicion and prompt interventions. We report a fatal case of mucormycosis tracheitis in a 23-year-old male after blunt trauma treated at a Level 1 trauma center.

The dopamine, norepinephrine, -endorphin, serotonin, and oxytocin systems, as well as the mesocortical and mesolimbic dopamine, norepinephrine, -endorphin, serotonin, and oxytocin systems, have all been linked to post-traumatic stress disorder. The interaction between these various systems, on the other hand, is largely unknown, and a widely recognised unified theory has yet to emerge. Galanergic suppression of dopaminergic neurons in the ventral tegmental may be the missing link in a post-traumatic feedback loop, according to this review.
