Silent Sinus Syndrome in a Female Child with Enophthalmos and Diplopia

Abstract

ABSTRACT Opacification of the maxillary sinus was first published by Montgomery in the precomputerized era. The term silent sinus syndrome (SSS) was first used by Soparkar et al2 in 1994. They defined an uncommon disease characterized by enophthalmos secondary to ipsilateral atelectasis of the maxillary sinus, even without nasal symptoms. The pathophysiology of SSS was demonstrated by Eto et al in 1993. In this report, we are presenting a case of silent sinus syndrome in a girl of pediatric age group, an unusual age of presentation.
