摘要：
Rhino orbital cerebral mucormycosis is a medical emergency; though rare it's a life threatening infection in patients. It commonly occurs in immunocompromised patients due to various causes. A retrospective study was conducted in tertiary care centre wherein 30 non-covid, diabetic patients were treated for mucormycosis. All underwent intensive debridement and diabetic management along with antifungal- amphotericin. All the cases improved with aggressive therapy: medical and surgical. Early recognition and treatment is needed to prevent morbidity and mortality.
