Overview

Observational study finds cavernous sinus involvement in mucormycosis patients impacts mortality, suggesting imaging parameters could guide management.

Key Points

  • CS involvement in ROCM was noted in 48.1% of patients, indicating frequent complications.
  • The study found a higher incidence of CS involvement in COVID-positive individuals at 51.8% compared to 34.8% in COVID-negative patients.
  • Bivariate analysis revealed a significant link between CS imaging parameters and increased patient mortality (p < 0.05).
  • Despite significant associations, COVID-19 did not markedly alter mortality outcomes, highlighting the impact of CS thrombosis alone.
