ABSTRACT
This report highlights the role of local amphotericin B (AMB) injection in cases of maxillary mucormycosis. The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a dramatic rise in the number of rhino-orbital mucormycosis cases. Although extensive surgical debridement remains the gold standard treatment, tissue salvage is desirable. The cases of two patients treated with local AMB are reported here, indicating that early intervention for maxillary fungal sinusitis in the form of local AMB may avoid the need for more invasive treatment.
