Accidental displacement of dental implants into the anatomical spaces is a rare complication that may be accompanied by tissue damage, functional disturbance, psychological distress, and medicolegal conditions. The aim of this report is to present an unusual case of a dental implant that displaced into the mandibular canal and to highlight the importance of adequate preoperative planning and surgical knowledge.

A 49-year-old man presented with a 1-week history of right facial paraesthesia with blurred vision and diplopia. Examination was normal apart from reduced facial sensation. Following appropriate neuroimaging, we considered a diagnosis of silent sinus syndrome. He underwent a middle meatal antrostomy with complete resolution of symptoms. Silent sinus syndrome results from occlusion of the osteomeatal complex, preventing normal aeration of the maxillary sinus. Maxillary sinus hypoventilation typically causes inferior displacement of the globe in the orbit (unilateral hypoglobus). Neurologists will only infrequently see people with silent sinus syndrome but it can have devastating consequences if left untreated and so must be considered in the appropriate clinical context.
