Abstract

Radiological findings of mucormycosis in post COVID-19 patients show varied patterns of disease involvement and spectrum of imaging features. One should not solely rely on CT imaging to detect the extent of disease. MRI helps in early and accurate detection of invasion into adjacent structures and so helpful in early intervention.
