We would like to present a case of a 53 years old man with COVID-19 positive status who later developed mucormycosis, with invasion of Maxillary sinus, jugular vein, digastric recess in MRI. He was managed with Amphotericin –B injection along with insulin therapy in sliding scale and Posaconazole thereafter for six months.
