AIM: To share clinical pattern of presentation, the modalities of surgical intervention and the one month post-surgical outcome of rhino-orbito-mucormycosis (ROCM) cases.
METHODS: All COVID associated mucormycosis (CAM) patients underwent comprehensive multidisciplinary examination by ophthalmologist, otorhinolaryngologist and physician. Patients with clinical and radiological evidence of orbital apex involvement were included in the study. Appropriate medical and surgical intervention were done to each patient. Patients were followed up one-month post intervention.
RESULTS: Out of 89 CAM patients, 31 (34.8%) had orbital apex syndrome. Sixty-six (74.2%) of such patients had pre-existing diabetes mellitus, 18 (58%) patients had prior documented use of steroid use, and 55 (61.8%) had no light perception (LP) presenting vision. Blepharoptosis, proptosis, complete ophthalmoplegia were common clinical findings. Seventeen (19.1%) of such patients had variable amount of cavernous sinus involvement. Endoscopic debridement of paranasal sinuses and orbit with or without eyelid sparing limited orbital exenteration was done in most cases, 34 (38.2%) patients could retain vision in the affected eye.
CONCLUSION: Orbital apex involvement in CAM patients occur very fast. It not only leads to loss of vision but also sacrifice of the eyeball, orbital contents and eyelids. Early diagnosis and prompt intervention can preserve life, vision and spare mutilating surgeries.
