Abstract
Rhino-orbito-cerebral mucormycosis (ROCM) has emerged in epidemic proportions, triggering a new health challenge in world. ROCM, an angioinvasive infection, is caused by the filamentous fungi of the family of Mucoraceae. Predisposing factors include uncontrolled diabetes, hematologic malignancies, solid-organ and stem cell trans-plantations, use of corticosteroids, and an immunocompromised status. There has been a substantial rise in the number of patients with mucormycosis in Uzbekistan during the COVID-19 pandemic. ROCM is predominantly seen in patients with diabetes/prediabetes in whom COVID-19 infection increases the risk of complications and fatality. Computed tomography (CT) in ROCM has a relatively lesser role as compared with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which has overall better soft-tissue resolution to assess disease extension.
Key words
Rhino-orbito-cerebral mucormycosis, CT, MRI, COVID-19.
