Abstract
Mucor mycosis is a rare, fatal fungal infection caused by the species Rhizopus of family Mucoraceae. It has been on rise since the advent of COVID-19 pandemic due to a plethora of reasons. Ours is an observational study of ten cases of Rhino-orbito-cerebral form of mucor mycosis (ROCM) with an intention to spread awareness regarding the significant implications of ROCM. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment is the need of the hour with a multi-pronged approach with an ultimate goal of salvaging the lives. Always, clinicians should have a high suspicion of involvement of the central nervous system especially in cases with orbital involvement.
