Abstract

Abstract Osteomas are relatively rare, slow-growing benign osteogenic tumours. Involvement of ethmoid sinus is a rare event. Such osteomas with orbital extension can have functional as well as cosmetic symptoms, apart of various sino-nasal symptoms. We report a case of Osteoma of ethmoidal sinus who presented with unilateral proptosis and ophtalmoplegia. He underwent excision by external approach. Post operatively, there was complete recovery of extraocular muscle function with return of normal facial features. Keywords: Ethmoid Osteoma, Orbital extension, Proptosis, External front oethmoidectomy
