Bony orbital changes in allergic fungal sinusitis are reversible after treatment.

We present a patient with AFS who presented with bilateral proptosis and early optic neuropathy. Radiologically, there was evidence of bony erosion and orbital wall compression. Following oral corticosteroids and full-house endoscopic sinus surgery, these changes reversed considerably. This case shows that bony and anatomical orbital changes from AFS are reversible with adequate surgical treatment. PMID: 31169421 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
