Rhino-orbital-cerebral mucormycosis (ROCM) is a rare angioinvasive fungal infection known to be associated with high morbidity and mortality rates of over 50%. Its incidence has increased lately due to the increasing number of patients with predisposing immunocompromising conditions, as well as COVID-19. In addition to the common acute disease progression, chronic, less aggressive courses have rarely been described. In this paper, we report the case of a 39-year-old man with recurrent diabetic ketoacidosis who initially presented with acute sinonasal symptoms, was positive for SARS-COV-2 and was later diagnosed with acute ROCM. He had mutilating but not complete surgical removal of infected tissue and was given high-dose liposomal amphotericin B followed by long-term oral antifungal therapy. One year after being lost to follow-up because of repatriation to his home country he sent us a holiday picture of himself having recovered from the disease. Despite the incomplete and mutilating resection, coupled with long-term antifungal treatment, we conclude that survival is possible in cases of Rhinoorbito-cerebral Mucormycosis (ROCM). However, it is important to note that there is still a scientific gap in evidence regarding follow-up procedures and the optimal duration of therapy.
