Mucormycosis, also known as phycomycosis or zygomycosis, is an acute opportunistic angio-invasive fungal infection caused by a saprophytic ubiquitant fungus found in soil, bread molds, and decaying fruits and vegetables.The most common form is the Rhinocerebral form. As the traditional term of "rhinocerebral" mucormycosis omits the critical involvement of the eye, the more comprehensive term as rhino-orbital-cerebral mucormycosis (ROCM) is used. COVID-19 has been linked to a significant rise in the incidence of rhino-orbito-cerebral mucormycosis, especially in patients with diabetes mellitus and inadvertent steroid administration.
