Mucormycosis is an uncommon disease caused by fungus of the order Mucorales. The disease has an aggressive course with high morbidity and mortality. It usually affects immunocompromised patients with some systemic debility or some inciting factor like trauma or some invasive procedure. Rhinoorbitocerebral type is a common variety with a typical order of system involvement. The disease has diagnostic challenges due to non-specific presenting picture, non-specific radiological changes and non- specific diagnostic tests. Biopsy and histopathological examination form the definitive diagnosis. Early institution of systemic antifungal therapy with surgical debridement are the cornerstones in management. Particular rise in number of mucormycosis cases has been noted during COVID-19 pandemic. We present a case report of an immunocompetent child who presented during the early phase after first wave of COVID-19 pandemic, with an atypical presentation, with a progressive course, delayed diagnosis but an appropriate management and satisfactory outcome.
