ABSTRACT Post‐COVID‐19 mucormycosis, particularly the rhino‐orbital‐cerebral form, can be life‐threatening. This case highlights the importance of maintaining high clinical suspicion, especially in patients with recent COVID‐19 history. Prompt diagnosis, aggressive surgical debridement, and antifungal therapy are crucial for successful management, even in patients without traditional risk factors.
