Zainab Noor, 8 Years Old Has Problem Of Headaches. She

Zainab Noor, 8 years old has problem of headaches. She has dust allergies, Ear infection and jaw pain occasionally and has weak eyesight. MRI reports showed sinus though doctors were unaware of its fungal but assumed it to be bacterial as the blood test results were showing controlled infection after 2 courses of anti biopics. We saw an ENT specialist who recommended Adenoid and tonsils surgery. We wanted 2nd opinion and when saw the 2nd ENT surgeon she adviced sinus drainage/washout and told that the Adenoid tissues do look inflamed but every person with dust allergies and sinusitis has some inflammation of these tissues so that should not be our worry. She mentioned a pterygoid lesion on right side close to the vision nerves and the bone that helps in chewing. She thought if we leave this pterygoid lesion and it increases in size Zainab may have issues of blurry vision and chewing. So booked an operation for sinusitis washout and Excision of pterygoid lesion. We are satisfied for the sinusitis washout but concerned for Excision of pterygoid lesion as no where in MRI and CT scans the radiologist mentioned if there was any kind of cyst or pterygoid lesion and it's only the ENT surgeon who noticed it. She might be right but in case she is not right we don't want in necessary pricking at the spot where she doubts is a pterygoid lesion.
