Mucormycosis, Black fungus, MRI, Rhino-orbito -cerebral, MucoraceaeAbstract
Mucormycosis started during COVID 19 when patients were treated with number of steroids oxygen, that further lead to increase in diabetes mellitus which was main cause of mucormycosis increase in black fungus further caused rhino-orbito-cerebral mucormycosis and angio invasive behavior of fungal hype that is from Mucoraceae family is main cause of the infection increases rapidly also damages the facial tissues vigorously uncontrolled diabetes, immunosuppressive, steroids poor glycemic control are main causes MRI is a technique that is been used for observing the growth of fungal hype from Epidermiological data its been proven that the mucormycosis is been spreading in countries such as India, Nepal, and Bangladesh rapidly its serious health concern in future.
