The patient was already diagnosed with rhino orbital mucormycosis in July 2021. The patient had a history of stroke 1 year ago and is a known case of diabetes mellitus type 2 and systemic hypertension and is on medications. This case is extremely rare in Indian healthcare settings and can have an extensive impact on multiple organs.
