Abstract :
Orbital prostheses serve as a hope in restoring facial aesthetics for individuals who have undergone orbital exenteration due to various pathologies, trauma, or congenital anomalies. The outbreak of COVID-19 brought forth numerous challenges, including the emergence of secondary complications such as mucormycosis, a rare but severe fungal infection. Through a meticulous fabrication process, prosthesis is tailored to the unique anatomical and aesthetic needs of each patient. This case report underscores the pivotal role of prosthetic rehabilitation in addressing the sequelae of post-COVID mucormycosis leading to an orbital defect and fabrication of silicone orbital prosthesis with its transformative impact on patient’s confidence.
