Orbital apex syndrome is a rare manifestation of invasive mucormycosis. We report a case of orbital apex syndrome in a diabetic patient which not only posed a diagnostic challenge but also required a multidisciplinary approach in treatment and management. Prompt imaging followed by early initiation of antimicrobial therapy along with timely surgical intervention were integral in preventing further complications and reducing mortality. However, despite these measures, the patient sustained partial vision loss due to endophthalmitis as a complication.
