Abstract:Functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) is performed as a treatment for refractory sinusitis. Ethmoidectomy is a component of FESS. In performing ethmoidectomy, the septa that are believed to buttress the medial orbital wall are removed. The impact of endoscopic sinus surgery upon orbital biomechanics have been studied in a cadaver model. These studies have demonstrated increased likelihood of medial orbital wall fracture in a cadaver model. In this report, the authors present the case of a patient who sust… Show more
