One critical complication of this disease is the thrombosis of orbital vessels, which can be indicative of angioinvasiveness and predict the subsequent development of cerebral infarctions. In this context, we present a case series of patients with rhino-orbital mucormycosis who experienced complications due to internal carotid artery thrombosis.
