Mucormycosis has become an ever-growing threat to human health, particularly after the COVID-19 pandemic. As the number of cases of mucormycosis increased, it put a burden on anesthesiologists. Here we describe the etiopathogenesis, clinical presentation, and anesthesia management of patients suffering from mucormycosis.
