Abstract
Mucormycosis is a rapidly progressing invasive opportunistic fungal disease due to species Rhizomucor and Mucor which usually starts from the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been considered a sensitive modality to detect mucormycosis; however, overall MRI appearance of the disease entity and its correlation with clinical and histopathological findings and disease outcome is poorly understood, hence we have undertaken this study at our tertiary care institute. In this retrospective study 198 patients with clinically evident sinonasal mucormycosis confirmed on radiological investigations and histopathology report were included. There was a significant male preponderance with 131 (66.16%) male patients. Majority, 164 (82.82%) cases were managed by endoscopic debridement. Seventy two 28% patients were successfully treated and discharged while 21.71% succumbed to the disease. On comparing clinic‐histopathological and radiological findings, we found that radiological findings are consistent in 73.74% cases. Radiology has good consistency with histopathology and helps in early detection.
