Noida: The district-level panel of doctors at Noida has recently recommended referring a case of a 17-year-old boy, who lost his vision in one eye after a sinus operation at Max Hospital in Vaishali, to the Medical Council of Uttar Pradesh.

It has been decided by the panel to transfer the matter to the State Council as the panel could not give any conclusive findings on the matter. Informing about the panel's recommendation, the Chief Medical Officer (CMO) of Ghaziabad said that the reason for such a decision is that the case belongs to "super-specialty" and therefore it should be referred accordingly.

The concerned minor boy belonging to Shahdara, Delhi is a son of a businessman. Recently, he cleared his class 12 examinations with 90% marks. After undergoing a sinus surgery, he lost his vision in his left eye. Consequently, the family of the minor approached the CMO back in November and lodged a complaint.

Apart from filing the complaint before the CMO, the family also approached the Ghaziabad police. However, the police informed that the action in this case would be taken on the basis of a report by a panel of doctors.

Consequently, the CMO of Ghaziabad set up a panel of three doctors and directed the panel to submit a report in the matter. However, considering that the case pertains to "super-speciality", the Noida panel has recommended the matter to UP Medical Council.

While commenting on this, the CMO told Hindustan Times, "The case is being referred to the state medical council and the panel has not submitted its own findings. We are in regular touch with the boy's family and his vision is yet to be restored."

Speaking about this, the cousin of the minor patient added, "We took him to another hospital in Delhi, from where he was discharged three days ago but his vision is yet to be restored. The doctors said he should continue with medicines. The office of the Ghaziabad CMO has not provided us with a copy of the recommendation letter for the inquiry to be taken up by the state medical council."

"If the panel of doctors could not investigate the case, which they say relates to super-specialty, they should have recommended it in the first place. Otherwise, this is just delaying our case. We are also trying to seek legal intervention in the matter," he added. 

While the family has complained about this matter to the CMO, the hospital on the other hand issued a detailed statement about the incident on November 29 and stated, "A 17-year-old patient underwent a Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS) at Max Hospital, Vaishali yesterday morning. The patient needed surgery as he had severe blockages in the sinuses. The surgery was uneventful. Later in the day, the patient complained of loss of vision in the left eye. A multi-disciplinary team involving ophthalmologists and ENT surgeons investigated and re-explored the case. The patient appears to have suffered a rare condition following the fess surgery involving the optic nerve. Our team of specialists is further evaluating the case."
