Dr. Prachi Jain ENT Surgeon 

Panchkula: 17 Year old boy whose eye bulged out because of an ENT problem treated with endoscopic surgery without any cut. Patient came to Alchemist Hospital with complain of abnormal eye size, pain and heaviness in the eye.  Endoscopic sinus surgery has been done successfully by Dr. Prachi Jain ENT surgeon with Alchemist Hospital.

Earlier he was getting treatment from an eye specialist but not getting any relief than he came to Alchemist Hospital and consulted ENT surgeon Dr. Prachi Jain.
Dr Prachi Jain said that after getting CT report we got to know that he was suffering from Allergic fungal Rhino sinusitis a nose disease not an eye disease.

Dr Prachi Jain further said that the fungus was growing in his nose and was spreading through nose to his brain. After other investigation his surgery was planned and functional endoscopic sinus surgery was done. Allergic fungal sinusitis (AFS) is a common type of fungal infection in the sinuses.

The infecting fungi are found in the environment and cause an allergic reaction which results in thick fungal debris, sticky mucus and blockage of the infected sinus. Patients with AFS may have allergies, nasal polyps and may have asthma. As a result of the condition, most patients develop chronic sinusitis which may affect their sense of smell. Left untreated, this condition may lead to displacement of the eyeball and vision loss. Although AFS can occur at any age but it is more common in adolescents and young adults.
