Dr. John Burroughs, Colorado Springs Plastic Surgeon, Shares An Interesting Case Publication
Dr. John Burroughs practices cosmetic and reconstructive eyelid, orbital, and facial plastic surgery. He had an elderly patient, who complained of cheek numbness. A CT scan was done to rule out a tumor and a large sinus mass that appeared to extend into the orbit was detected. He underwent surgery and it turned out it was a pseudo-mass and was actually a fungal infection of his sinuses and orbit. He had these issues addressed and is doing much better. It turns out this condition is fairly common in more humid and warmer climate areas in younger patients. Our patient was unique because of his elderly age and residence in Colorado, which is at a high altitude and a dry, desert climate. Dr. Burroughs presented this at his annual Spring ASOPRS (American Society of Ophthalmic Plastic Surgery), and it was just published in Research, an online open peer reviewed journal. Dr. Burroughs teaches medical students, and was pleased to share the publication with one of his medical students who co-wrote the paper and helped get it published.
