    <abstract locale="en_US">Mucormycosis is an invasive fungal infection caused by fungi of the order Mucorales. It can lead to significant mortality and morbidity in immunocompromised and diabetic patients. We herein present a patient with untreated type 2 diabetes who was admitted for acute progressive vision loss. Following diagnostic findings, she was diagnosed with mucormycosis that directly infiltrated the cerebral arteries, resulting in blindness in her left eye. This is an uncommon presentation of mucormycosis, as it led to arterial invasion without involving the orbit. This case underscores the significance of promptly diagnosing mucormycosis in susceptible individuals to avert catastrophic outcomes.</abstract>
