To do or not to do: Large-dose steroid treatment for severe vision loss secondary to compressive inflammatory optic neuropathy in the setting of invasive fungal sinusitis
Severe vision loss in IFS can occur due to compressive inflammatory optic neuropathy without direct fungal invasion as a contributing factor. Timely and effective intervention is crucial in preventing vision loss. Large-dose steroid therapy may be a potential treatment option for immunocompromised patients with invasive fungal sinusitis and intracranial invasion, provided strict fungal infection control measures are in place.
