Background: Rhino-Orbital-Cerebral Mucormycosis (ROCM) is a potentially fatal fungal infection that commonly affects diabetic and other immunocompromised patients. Necrotizing and Angioinvasive features of this class of pathogenic fungi facilitate the spread from sinuses into orbit and the brain with devastating consequences. Early diagnosis and timely intervention are key to successful treatment. Aims and Objectives: This article aims to interpret the findings on CT and MRI in ROCM. The primary objective of this study is to enumerate the imaging findings of all patients presented with Rhino orbital cerebral mucormycosis at various stages and to describe the management algorithm. The secondary objective is to follow up on aggressive cases after successful therapy. Materials and Methods: This prospective observational descriptive and a.. Read More»
