Mumbai: Doctors at Fortis remove pituitary tumours with Scarless Endoscopic Transsphenoidal Surgery
Advertisement
53-year old Bhupendra Chavan from Surat was in the midst of a wedding in the family when he suddenly experienced loss of vision with bouts of pain in the head. In the hustle-bustle of the wedding, Chavan initially ignored the pain but the intensity rose soon. Unlike the much-seen vision problems, Chavan was having problems in seeing sideways. His peripheral vision was lost to a great extent. As the vision loss became more acute, coupled with increase in pain, Chavan consulted a local doctor. Through the course of investigations, the Physician suspected it to be a neurological condition, but was unable to proceed with the treatment as they were ill-equipped. The Physician was advised to consult Dr Sunil Kutty, Neurosurgeon at Fortis Hospital in Vashi at the earliest.
Chavan travelled to Mumbai and consulted Dr Kutty immediately, on his advice; he was admitted to the hospital on 6th January. Investigations into the patient’s medical history and further tests were done to diagnose the exact problem. Amongst others, Hormone Profiling Test and Perimetry Test were conducted to investigate the case of discomfort. MRI and CT Scans were conducted to rule-out tumors but the outcomes of these reports revealed that there was a tumor in Chavan’s Pituitary Gland.
