Rhino-orbital-cerebral mucormycosis

Mucormycosis is a fungal infection typically affecting diabetic or immunocompromised patients. Very few cases have been reported in the literature in the past but multiple studies have shown that it is increasing, especially in this COVID era. It is highly invasive in nature hence early diagnosis is obligatory. Radiological imaging plays an important role in its diagnosis and to evaluate the extent of disease, in turn facilitating timely intervention. The objective of this clinical report is to evaluate a case of rhino-orbital-cerebral mucormycosis that involved the medical and surgical treatment of an immunocompromised male patient. In this interventional case study, a comprehensive evaluation of presenting features and imaging diagnostic evaluation are discussed in detail.
