Introduction: Mucormycosis is a life-threatening fungal infection that occurs in patients who are immune compromised because of diabetic ketoacidosis, neutropenia and/or organ transplantation. In pandemic of COVID 19 an unusual epidemic of rhino-orbital-cerebral mucormycosis was observed affecting post COVID patients mainly. Covid 19 causes endothelial dysfunction due to inflammatory induced homeostasis and a pro coagulant state with multi-organ involvement[1].All these inflammatory and hypercoaguble states are established risk factors for retinal artery occlusion. Direct invasion of vessels by fungal hyphae leading to widespread occlusive vasculitis and thrombosis can also lead to complications like Central Retinal Artery Occlusion in patients of mucormycosis.
