Sphenoid Sinusitis with internal fungal

2022-06-19 16:39:17
Hi Sir, My father has taken MRI scan of brain for sleep disorder and head pain. From scan report we came to know that he has "Sphenoid Sinusitis with internal fungal colonization". Our neurologist, suggested to check with ENT doctor. On consultation with ENT doctor, we were informed that we need to immediately remove it through endoscopy procedure. Can we move ahead with it? Need your opinion on this.
