Abstract
Mucormycosis is an aggressive disease with high morbidity and mortality caused by fungi from the Mucorales order. They are fungi widely present in nature but may also be related to nosocomial infections. We present four cases of mucormycosis identified through histopathological analysis and involving the rhino-sinus region. All the cases were related to decompensated diabetes mellitus. Among these patients, two of them had lesions that affected their eyes and central nervous system (CNS). Although there were no fatalities, the two patients with ocular and CNS lesions experienced severe complications, including loss of vision and definitive chronic renal failure. 
 KEY WORDS: Mucormycosis; Covid-19; Sars-cov-2; diabetes mellitus; rhino-orbital.
