abstract
the silent sinus syndrome (sss) involves painless facial asymmetry and enophthalmos, which is theresult of chronic maxillary sinus atelectasis. in most cases, it is diagnosed clinically, however, usingthe characteristic imaging features including maxillary sinus outlet obstruction, sinus opacification,and sinus volume loss caused by inward retraction of the sinus walls. obstruction of the maxillaryostium appears to play a critical role in the development of sss. treatment involves functionalendoscopic surgery. key words: enophthalmos, hypoplasia, maxillary sinus, syndrome

Enophthalmos recovered 8 months after the surgery and radiologic findings improved. SSS is a clinical entity that should be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis of enophthalmos and can be treated successfully via endosc...

Introduction: Bilateral silent sinus syndrome (SSS) is a very rare pathology reported only in few papers in literature. Most of the described cases are simultaneous, and only one had a metachronous presentation. The evolutionary phases of the disease have yet to be well demonstrated and a complete radiological evaluation is needed to demonstrate the pathogenetic mechanisms that cause the ...

Spontaneous enophthalmos unrelated to trauma or surgery is rare. The term 'silent sinus syndrome' has been used to describe this process where, in particular, there is an absence of any sino-nasal symptoms. The enophthalmos and hypoglobus that occurs in these subjects is caused by atelectasis of the maxillary antrum, which itself appears to be due to chronic maxillary hypoventilation. We report...

The computerized tomography (CT) showed a collapsed maxillary and frontal sinus and a lateral deviation of the nasal septum that led us to the diagnosis. DISCUSSION The clinical feature...
