ABSTRACT
The storm of COVID?19?associated mucormycosis (CAM) has not yet settled, and it has proven itself a disfiguring and potentially life?threatening disease, complicating the course of COVID?19 infection. Mucormycosis is a rare but devastating fungal infection caused by filamentous fungi of the family Mucoraceae. We report a rare case of a 37?year?old diabetic male with bilateral rhino?orbital?cerebral mucormycosis (ROCM) where it leads to bilateral central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) as manifestation of the disease. Bilateral CRAO secondary to ROCM is extremely rare. A strong suspicion of CAM in uncontrolled diabetics can result in early diagnosis and management.
