Epidemiological studies have reported the estimated prevalence of mucormycosis to be around 70 times higher in India as compared to the global data, even in the pre-COVID era. However, in the last 3 months, our city witnessed an unprecedented surge in cases of post-COVID-19-associated rhino-orbital-cerebral (ROC) mucormycosis. This pictorial review aims to illustrate the entire imaging spectrum of mucormycosis in the head-neck-face region. Along with the usual sites (nose, paranasal sinuses, orbits), this disease also involves the skull base, palate, temporal bone, and deep neck spaces. Many cases also demonstrated morbid and, at times, fatal intracranial and neurovascular complications. This review also aims to provide a structured reporting template that will prove useful to the radiologists interpreting imaging studies of ROC mucormycosis.
