Article Synopsis
- A significant increase in cases of sino-orbital mucormycosis (SOM) was observed during the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to a need for effective treatment options beyond traditional orbital exenteration.
- A study comparing the use of intraorbital injections with Amphotericin B (IOAB) showed that most patients (88.5%) had stable orbital disease after treatment, with minimal deterioration in visual acuity.
- The findings suggest that IOAB may improve outcomes for patients with mild to moderate SOM, as only a small percentage experienced relapse, highlighting its potential as a globe-conserving therapy.
