Mucormycosis is a rare and highly lethal fungal infection, with a subtle clinical presentation but aggressive spread via angioinvasion. It is uncommon and typically seen in immunocompromised patients but can also be a serious complication after traumatic injuries. Recognition of this disease requires high clinical suspicion and prompt interventions. We report a fatal case of mucormycosis tracheitis in a 23-year-old male after blunt trauma treated at a Level 1 trauma center.
