Abstract Introduction Orbital floor fractures are routinely encountered in facial trauma. Many factors influence the final outcome of orbital surgery, time interval and extent other bone two which can significantly postoperative following reconstruction. Our study aims to find ideal for intervention association Methods A retrospective prospective cohort patients who were operated at Pondicherry...

PURPOSE To report the treatment and histopathological findings in two cases who developed eyelid swelling, proptosis and diplopia due to orbital and lid lipogranuloma after endoscopic surgery of the maxillary and ethmoidal sinuses. METHODS To relieve the proptosis and diplopia, debulking surgery was done on the eyelids and orbit. The tissue removed was sent for histopathological examination. ...

purpose: to report a case of enophthalmos secondary to complete globe dislocation into the maxillary sinus due to orbital fracture. patient and findings: an 18-year-old man was referred to labafinejad hospital, one week after a car accident. at initial examination, the globe was not seen within the right orbit. a large floor fracture and globe luxation into the right maxillary sinus were confir...

BACKGROUND Blowout fracture is one of the most common facial fractures, and patients usually present with accompanying ocular complications. Many studies have looked into the frequency of persistent ocular symptoms, but there is no study on assault patients and related ocular symptoms. We evaluated the incidence of residual ocular symptoms in blow-out fractures between assaulted and non-assault...

Acute abducens palsy of para-infectious origin is uncommon in adulthood. We present the case history of a 28-year-old woman suffering from acute onset diplopia due to abducens palsy. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed signs suggestive of frank ipsilateral maxillary sinusitis. The lack of anatomical relationship between the maxillary sinus and the abducens nerve led us to conclude that the abdu...

Various surgical techniques for the removal of a foreign body from maxillary sinuses have been reported. However, the access window in the lateral wall of the maxillary sinus cavity is not replaced by a bony wall when sinus grafting is not performed. The replaceable bony window provides an access window into the sinus cavity and maintains the integrity of the lateral wall of the sinus cavity af...

A 28-year-old woman with alopecia since childhood presented with 4 years of progressive intermittent diplopia and right eye getting “stuck” with upward gaze. Maddox rod test revealed a subtle intermittent right hypotropia and right enophthalmos (figure 1). Asymptomatic T2 hyperintensities were noted on MRI (figure 2). Scalp morphea was confirmed pathologically. Formal rheumatologic evaluation w...

A 40-year-old female presented with a 10 year history of left sided facial pain and occasional purulent nasal discharge, refractory to antibiotics. Dental examination showed 3 missing teeth in left maxilla one of which had no history of extraction. X-ray paranasal sinus showed a bony opacity in the maxillary sinus but nasal endoscopy was normal. C.T. scan revealed a radio-opaque shadow arising ...

Introduction: Ectopic tooth eruption may result owing to one of 3 processes: developmentalDisturbance, iatrogenic activity, or pathologic process, such as a tumor or a cyst. In rare cases, occlusion of the sinus ostia may predispose a patient to develop a maxillary sinus mucocele. When the maxillary sinus is invaded, symptoms usually occur late in the process.   Case report: A 17 years old boy...

Balloon dilation may offer a more expedient and cost-effective treatment method compared with traditional endoscopic sinus surgery for chronic maxillary atelectasis. We sought to demonstrate the feasibility of balloon dilation of the maxillary os as a treatment modality for patients with chronic maxillary atelectasis by investigating the short-term outcomes in a retrospective case series of 4 p...
