Overview

Retrospective analysis of rhino-orbital-cerebral mucormycosis outcomes in post-COVID-19 patients, indicating management strategies can improve survival.

Key Points

  • This research aims to assess the clinical characteristics, management strategies, outcomes, and prognostic indicators of rhino-orbital-cerebral mucormycosis in patients who recovered from COVID-19.
  • Retrospective analysis of 68 ROCM patients treated at Saidu Group of Teaching Hospital from January-August 2025.
  • Review of demographics, comorbidities, clinical presentation, surgical approaches, and outcomes.
  • Focus on the relationships between uncontrolled diabetes, intracranial extension, and mortality.
  • Mortality rate was 32.3% with 62% achieving disease-free status.
  • Intracranial extension (p<0.001) and uncontrolled diabetes (p=0.016) were significant predictors of mortality.
  • Common presenting symptoms included facial pain, orbital involvement, and vision loss with widespread disease.
