ABSTRACT
Mucormycosis is an emerging infection in the present post-COVID-19 era, associated with high morbidity and mortality. We are reporting an interesting case of invasive rhino-orbital-cerebral mucormycosis in a 65-year-old female who presented with left nasal and orbital swelling after COVID-19 infection associated with uncontrolled diabetes mellitus. Histopathological and microbiology examination favored mucormycosis. Finally, endoscopic debridement of the lesion was done with left orbital exenteration. The patient at present is clinically stable. As these cases have been seen in many suspected and confirmed COVID-19 cases, early diagnosis and treatment will salvage the patient.
