my dh has had really bad headaches for
over 1 week. he was brought into and
urgent care, who then sent him to the ER.
they did a CAT scan, and said he had a
really blocked sinus over his right eye.
i should say around his right eye was very
sensitive to touch. it hurt even if he put
a little pressure on it. Then while at
work he got really dizzy and his right eye
went black. he could not see anything.
that was when he went to UC then ER.
ER doc sent him to an ENT, which he went
to and they said he does have a sinus
infection but that isnt what caused him to
lose vision temporarily. He should see a
neurologist because in the CAT scan the
white spot that the ER doc said is a
blocked sinus, isnt. That it shouldnt be
there, or it doesnt belong there. They
said only a neurologist could read it
properly but it could mean several
things.
What could it mean? They didnt want to go
into detail, but I am concerned. His
appointment is next week.
any info would be helpful. thank you

It could be any growth that is abutting
the optic nerve, causing acute visual
loss, mimicking an optic neuritis.
Does he has swelling or redness around his
eye?
