P333 Silent sinus syndrome in children (case report)

AbstractObjective:We describe a previously unreported case of ethmoid silent sinus syndrome.Method:Case report and review of the world literature regarding silent sinus syndrome.Results:A 33-year-old woman developed medial displacement of the left orbital contents in the absence of trauma, surgery or other significant pathology. Imaging showed opacification of the left ethmoid sinus and implosion of the medial orbital wall. Previously reported cases of silent sinus syndrome have all involved the maxillary sinus, with subsequent implosion of the orbital floor. Computed tomography scans of our patient showed wide, flat ethmoidal bulla and surrounding cells, with few horizontal bony septae reinforcing the area of collapse.Conclusion:This case represents the first report of ethmoid silent sinus syndrome. We argue that, in anatomically susceptible individuals, the silent sinus syndrome can present due to chronic ethmoidal sinusitis.

AbstractIntroduction:Spontaneous fracture of the maxillary sinus is usually associated with enophthalmos and pre-existing sinus disease.Case report:We present a case of spontaneous maxillary sinus fracture without enophthalmos and with no preceding history of trauma or evidence of sinusitis.Discussion:The closest condition to that presented is silent sinus syndrome. The differences between our case and this syndrome are reviewed. There are no previously reported cases of lateral wall maxillary fracture and associated facial surgical emphysema following nose-blowing.
