Abstract Mucormycosis is an opportunistic infection that has become a serious concern as a result of the immunosuppressive drugs used during COVID‐19. In this report, we describe two cases of rhino‐orbital‐cerebral mucormycosis with neurological presentation and ophthalmologic problems accompanied by a history of COVID‐19 and diabetes.
