Isolated Acute Sphenoid Sinusitis Causing Orbital Apex Syndrome – A Case Report
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 5
Abstract
Isolated inflammatory involvement of the sphenoid sinus is a relatively uncommon entity. Acute sphenoidal sinusitis may present a problem of differential diagnosis in patients with visual disturbances and cranial neuropathies. We report a unusual case of orbital apex syndrome with isolated acute sphenoid sinusitis in a diabetic patient due to dehiscent superolateral wall of the sphenoid sinus. Keywords:Acute sphenoid sinusitis, orbital apex syndrome, dehiscent sphenoid sinus
