I describe a novel case of COVID-19 in a previously healthy 33-year-old female who presented for altered mental status and proptosis. She was ultimately diagnosed with mucormycosis and orbital compartment syndrome, in addition to COVID-19. Herein I present a case of rhino-orbital-cerebral mucormycosis in a patient who presented to the Emergency Department with altered mental status, proptosis, and COVID-19 infection. The most common clinical presentation of mucormycosis is rhino-orbital-cerebral infection, believed to be secondary to inhalation of spores into the paranasal sinuses of a susceptible host [1] . Seventy percent of rhino-orbital-cerebral mucormycosis cases have been found to be in patients with diabetes mellitus, most of whom had also developed ketoacidosis at the time of presentation.	./cache/cord-312623-ktswh3fu.txt	./txt/cord-312623-ktswh3fu.txt
