Hi just wondering if anyone has had this procedure.
I've had a problem over the years with nasty ear infections & even ruptured ear drums but over the last couple of months, I'd started to get headaches towards the top of climb, for a short while in the cruise & all the way during descent.
I went to see my GP, called BUPA, saw a Consultant, had a CT Scan which showed I has a spur of bone protruding into the Nasal Passage near the neck of the Sinus & it was covered with Pollups forming an air pocket within the Sinus.
I have to undergo Endoscopic Sinus Surgery to remove the bone & pollups but dangers include a risk of blindness due to the surgery's proximity to the Optic Nerve & Meningitis as incisions have to be made near the roof of the nose risking rupturing the thin bone & CSF ( the fluid around the brain) may leak. If the muscles that move the eye are damaged, this will lead to Double Vision.
Apparently the risks are minimal. I was just wondering if anybody on here knows of anyone who has undergone this procedure.
Thanks in advance & kind regards
Daddy-oh!
