Abstract

Paranasal sinus surgery is frequently used for the management of allergic, infectious and neoplastic sinus diseases by otolaryngologists. Ophthalmic complications are rare but their occurrence may result in morbidity. Optic nerve injury, extraocular muscle injury, intraorbital hemorrhage, periorbital emphysema, and nasolacrimal duct and sac injury are the ophthalmic complications of sinus surgery. We present a case with orbital complications following the Caldwell-Luc operation.
