Abstract Aim Silent sinus syndrome is a rare condition characterised by progressive, painless enophthalmos with subsequent development of hypoglobus due to orbital floor resorption. It caused hypoplasia the ipsilateral maxillary atelectasis. may be associated previous surgery or trauma idiopathic. We describe case 33-year-old female treated customised implant, and review from available literatu...

PURPOSE This study assessed the association between eye symptoms (enophthalmos or diplopia) and site of damage, volume, deviated inferior rectus muscle (IRM) and type of fracture with computed tomography (CT). The intent is to anticipate the prognosis of orbital trauma at initial diagnosis. METHODS Forty-five patients were diagnosed with fractures of the inferior wall of one orbit. Fracture a...

The case is described of mucocele of the right frontoethmoidal sinus with bilateral maxillary sinusitis and a large polyp in the right nasal cavity. The mucocele had determined erosion of the anterior and posterior walls of the frontal sinus and superomedial wall of the orbit. The patient was operated upon by a surgical team comprising ENT and maxillofacial specialists. Right maxillary sinusoto...

Acute fulminant invasive fungal sinusitis is most commonly found in immunocompromised patients with conditions such as diabetes mellitus, malignancies and acquired immune deficiency syndrome. The most common pathogens are Aspergillus and Mucoraceae and the sinus most frequently involved is the maxillary sinus. Fever, rhinorrhea, facial pain, headache, and diplopia are common presenting symptoms...

BACKGROUND The reduction of orbital blowout fracture primarily aims to normalize the extra-ocular movement by returning the herniated orbital soft tissue into the original position, and to prevent enophthalmos by normalizing the orbital cavity volume. We introduce a balloon catheter-assisted orbital floor reduction technique. METHODS A retrospective review was performed for all patients with ...

introduction frontal sinus mucoceles are the commonest among all paranasal mucoceles. with introduction of functional endoscopic sinus surgery, surgeons prefer endoscopic management of sinus mucoceles, but lesions that appear in the lateral part of the frontal sinus can be difficult to access and often need external approaches. case presentation we described a lateral frontal sinus mucocele wit...

Orbital floor reconstruction in total maxillectomy cases is a challenging task. Enophthalmos, ptosis, diplopia, dystopia, and contour deformity may result if there failure of adequate support by the reconstructive measures. Many options orbital are available with their inherent complications no single option provide required results terms function esthetics.

Direct oblique sagittal CT was used to evaluate trauma to 77 orbits. Sixty-seven orbital wall fractures with intact orbital rims (36 floor, 22 medial wall, nine roof) were identified in 47 orbits. Since persistent diplopia and/or enophthalmos may warrant surgical repair of orbital floor fractures, optimal imaging should include an evaluation of extraocular muscle status, the nature and amount o...

Acute posttraumatic enophthalmos is a well-known symptom occurring in orbital blowout fractures. Its late onset in the absence of radiologic evidence of displaced fractures is rare and traditionally attributed to ischemic liponecrosis or fibrotic scarring of endo-orbital soft tissues. In this article, we describe a case of facial trauma, diagnosed and treated at the Maxillo-Facial Surgical Depa...
