Patient initially had a severe pain in the right eye and headache on right side, later on 10th September he had  double vision and on 11^th  September started noticing decreased vision on right side followed with complete loss of vision.

On examination we observed sluggish pupillary reflex with no vision in the right eye and purulent material in the right side of nose. CT and MRI showed fungal infection involving the right-side sinuses and right orbit

Our team has come to conclusion that these rapid onset of symptoms might be due to fungal infection. So, immediately we admitted the patient and started antifungal medications which covers both white and black fungus and after 12 hrs we operated and removed disease from all the sinuses and right eye ball socket, we took  cheesy material from sinuses which was further sent for histopathological examination and further gave antifungal medication. Report showed  Aspergillus which is called as white fungus.

Patient was symptomatically improved  after surgery, within 8 hrs he regained the vision in right eye. By 10th day patient improved remarkably, pain has reduced and no double vision. patient was very happy at the time of discharge and got back to his native place which is almost 1500km from Hyderabad.
