Abstract

Background: Infection of the respiratory system is the main focus of the broad family of enveloped, positive-strand RNA viruses known as coronaviruses. The coronavirus that causes COVID-19 disease is a legitimate global public health threat. Mucormycosis and aspergillosis are the most typical fungal infections of the orbit. The most prevalent causative fungus for mucormycosis is a Rhizopus species, which belongs to the order Mucorales. Objective: Assessment of Mucormycosis in Covid-19 pandemic and its radiological diagnosis. Methods: We scoured medical publications and databases including PubMed, Google Scholar, and Science Direct for information on Covid-19 and Mucormycosis between May 1988 and February 2023, however, only the latest or most comprehensive study was considered. The authors also assessed the usefulness of references drawn from similar books. As a result, non-English documents have been overlooked due to a lack of resources to translate them. It was commonly recognized that scientific research did not include things like unpublished publications, oral presentations, conference abstracts, or dissertations. Conclusion: Due to the indeterminate nature of the imaging results in mucormycosis, CT and MRI scans are better suited for preoperative planning than diagnosis. T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings can range from hyperintensity to hypointensity, and fat planes may be lost.
