Abstract
ROCM is the most common type of Mucormycosis and it can rapidly spread from the paranasal sinuses to orbit and brain which can be fatal in most patients. Diabetes mellitus is the most common risk factor in India. As invasive fungal diseases present with nonspecific clinical features, increasing awareness and education among clinicians about this deadly enemy is very crucial for early diagnosis and prompt initiation of appropriate therapy. We are reporting a case study on ROCM in a Diabetic patient caused by species along with a short review on the taxonomy, risk factors, pathogenesis, clinical forms, diagnosis and management of mucormycosis. We hope that this will help in expanding awareness among medical community about mucormycosis which is a lethal opponent of patients with Diabetes Mellitus.
