AIIMS Bhopal's Multidisciplinary Surgical Intervention Restores Lost Eyesight
Surgery Success: AIIMS Bhopal Restores Lost Eyesight
Bhopal: Surgery performed at AIIMS Bhopal successfully restored lost eyesight to a 25-year-old man from Jaitwara village after a traumatic accident on August 20. Initially, the patient was reported to have lost vision in both eyes with his left eyeball displaced into the ethmoid sinus. Following a referral to AIIMS Bhopal on August 26, NCCT scan findings indicated pneumocephalus, necessitating a multidisciplinary surgical intervention involving neurosurgery, ophthalmology, trauma, emergency medicine, and anesthesia.
Case Details and Procedure
- Initial symptoms included persistent headaches and nasal discharge.
- The family suspected the left eye had fallen out during the incident, but scans revealed it was entrapped within the ethmoid sinus.
- Air was also detected in the patient's brain, complicating the situation further.
Given the complexity, a team of experts collaborated for the surgery. Key surgeons included Dr. Amit Agarwal from neurosurgery, Dr. Bhavana Sharma from ophthalmology, Dr. B L Soni from trauma and emergency medicine, and Dr. Vaishali Vendeskar from anesthesia.
