Abstract

Fungal osteomyelitis is rarely documented in the maxillofacial region. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has caused a rise in the number of cases with post-covid fungal osteomyelitis of jaws. An invasive lesion can have a devastating effect in the patients. Hence a better understanding of the lesion progression is needed. This case series aims to showcase the progression of such lesions in the maxillofacial region in four COVID-19 recovered patients along with radiographic findings. It is believed that the timely identification and management of these lesions would significantly reduce morbidity and mortality. Key Words COVID-19, Diabetes Mellitus, Fungal Osteomyelitis, Mucormycosis.
