- Abstract
The involvement of the neurological system by coronavirus has been well established. Since its onset, the systemic manifestations of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) have been evolving rapidly and imaging plays a pivotal role in diagnosing the various primary and secondary effects of the disease. As the pandemic continues to defy human civilization, secondary impacts of the disease and the treatment given to patients afflicted with the disease have stemmed up. Rhino-orbital-cerebral mucormycosis is one such potentially dangerous infection now commonly seen in COVID-19 patients, especially the ones treated with immunosuppressants. Early diagnosis is key for COVID-19-associated mucormycosis (CAM), and radiologists should be well aware of its alarming neurological manifestations from the involvement of parenchyma, meninges, vessels, cranial nerves, and skull base. This review highlights the magnetic resonance imaging features of neuraxial involvement in CAM.
