This book is the most comprehensive (and possibly the first) manual
on 'Rhino-Orbito-Cerebral Mucormycosis (ROCM) that covers
mucormycosis of the nose extending to sinuses, orbit, and brain,
all in. This volume covers the surge of cases during the COVID-19
pandemic, early identification and causative factors, microbiology,
pathology and radiology, and the clinical presentation. Notes on
surgical approaches, extent, and techniques of debridement, number
of sittings, antifungal therapy, complications, and their
management equip readers to manage these cases confidently.
Detailed descriptions of ROCM surgery accompanied by nearly 500
photographs and anatomical drawings help support diagnostic and
surgical decision-making. Also included is information on various
specifications of MRI that help in achieving a perfect surgical
clearance. The book includes chapters on debates on salvaging the
orbit in ROCM, various situations, their management, the extent of
resection, antifungal dosage and duration, prognostication of the
patient, and postoperative care. The book assists surgeons in
gaining the skills to perform endoscopic clearance of difficult
areas like pterygoplataine fossa, infratemporal fossa, pterygoid
plates, and the lacrimal drainage system, which offers significant
advantages in terms of avoiding postoperative morbidity as compared
to an external route. Since the external route is required in the
most extensive form of the disease, the book has also covered it
extensively. This book is an indispensable resource for
otorhinolaryngologists, ophthalmic surgeons, ophthalmic plastic
surgeons, physicians, microbiologists, pathologists, radiologists,
neurosurgeons, faciomaxillary surgeons and junior and senior
consultants optometrists and students.
