Mucormycosis is an angio invasive infection that occurs due to the fungi Mucorales. It is a rare disease but increasingly recognized in Post covid-19 and immune compromised patients. It can be categorized into rhino-orbitocerebral, pulmonary, gastrointestinal, renal, disseminated and cutaneous types. Overall increased mortality rate is reported, even though the aggressive treatment is given. The main aim and purpose of this study was to observe the radiological findings and characteristics of rhino-orbito-cerebral Mucormycosis in post covid-19 patients with the help of Gadolinium enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI).
