Mucormycosis is an opportunistic fungal infection. India faced an unprecedented increase in patients with post coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) associated rhino-orbito-cerebral mucormycosis (ROCM). This study proposes a grading system which correlates the extent of the disease with the management plan. An observational study was conducted January 2021-June 2021. We identified 65 patients. Eleven patients had mild disease, 27 patients had moderate, 16 patients were severe and 11 patients were graded as very severe. The management was planned based on this grading system. Early diagnosis, aggressive surgical debridement and antifungal drug therapy is the key to improve survival in ROCM. Procedures such as endoscopic orbital clearance, sublabial maxillectomy, and modified endoscopic Denkers (MED) approach facilitate access and surgical debridement. The new grading system proposed assists in planning the approach and extent of surgical debridement.
