Article information

The silent sinus syndrome is a very infrequent pathology. It is described as an enophthalmos secondary to collapse and opacification of maxillary sinus without presenting sinus or nasal symptoms. Osteomeatal complex obstruction is the triggering physiopathologic factor. The clinical symptoms and imaging findings lead to the diagnosis. The treatment consists in restoring sinus ventilation and, if necessary, correcting the orbital floor. We report a case of a woman who was diagnosed and treated because of this entity in our hospital.

Key words:

El síndrome del seno silente es una afección muy poco frecuente. Se describe como un enoftalmos unilateral secundario a colapso y opacificación del seno maxilar sin síntomas nasosinusales. La obstrucción del complejo osteomeatal es el factor fisiopatológico desencadenante. El diagnóstico se basa en los hallazgos clínicos y radiológicos. El tratamiento irá dirigido a restablecer la ventilación del seno y, si es necesario, corregir el suelo orbitario. Presentamos el caso de una mujer diagnosticada y tratada en nuestro hospital por esta entidad.
