Abstract :
Introduction: Mucormycosis is an uncommon but significant developing opportunistic fungal co-infection (COVID-19) that is frequently linked with substantial morbidities. Rhino-orbit-cerebral mucormycosis (ROCM) is the severe clinical type, appearing in debilitated individuals in association with sinus or paranasal sinus involvement because of the proclivity for contiguous spread. Prompt care of Rhino-orbit-cerebral mucormycosis focuses on therapeutic medications such as antifungals, antibiotics, and vigorous surgical debridement. Post-operative orbital defect restoration can be accomplished by utilising either surgical reconstructive procedures or a prosthesis.
Case Description: The design of an ocular prosthesis to rehabilitate the patient based on the underlying clinical condition, prosthetic material, and prosthetic retention. The current report discusses the rehabilitation of an exenterated orbit with a cranio-naso-orbital fistula defect and contracted eyelid by a hollow ocular prosthesis with a magnet-assisted handle. The objective was to preserve the biological health of the underlying postsurgical tissue, prosthetic design and optimal aesthetics.
