Infectious Disease

To provide an overview of the pattern of neuroaxis involvement and clinico-radiological correlation in post covid rhino orbital cerebral mucormycosis cases.

 

The COVID-19 has spread worldwide since December 2019. In India, the peak of COVID-19 Infections in APRIL 2021 was paralleled by an outbreak of rhino-orbital-cerebral mucormycosis (ROCM), a fulminant angioinvasive fungal infection involving various neural axis.

We systematically reviewed 100 patients diagnosed with post covid ROCM admitted to the hospital during APRIL 2021 to JUNE 2021.Data pertaining to clinico-radiological features were analysed using percentage of total cases.

 

Of 100 patients of post covid ROCM, clinical manifestations include headache[ 90%], facial pain [88%], ophthalmoplegia [87%], loss of vision [85%], proptosis [85%], dizziness [60%], cerebrovascular accidents [24%], seizures[20%], encephalitis[3%]. Radiological profile suggestive of Cranial nerve involvement [45%], Early cerebritis [40%], Cerebral abscess [ 25%], Cavernous sinus thrombosis[20%], ICA stenosis[16%], Cerebral infarct[9%], Leptomeningeal enhancement[6%].

Neuroaxis involvement was characterized by a multitude of features pertaining to involvement of cranial nerves, extraocular muscles, meninges, cavernous sinus brain parenchyma and internal carotid artery.  High index of suspicion is required to ensure timely diagnosis and appropriate treatment in high-risk populations to prevent High mortality
