“…Even if the literature has started to find marginal consensus in recent years, it appears necessary to define shared diagnostic criteria, as well as a shared approach to the best treatment choices with the lowest rate of invasiveness and morbidity. The literature would also considering post-traumatic cases not definable as SSS due to their lack of spontaneous development 10,20 . Nevertheless, a retrospective analysis of 6 cases and literature review showed how traumatic SSS management follows the same principles as for spontaneous SSS 21 .…”

“…The original definition of SSS dates to 1994 and included only spontaneous enophthalmos not associated with prior trauma or surgery 2 . Nevertheless, many authors have started accepting wider inclusion criteria involving more aetiologies (idiopathic, post traumatic, and iatrogenic) and sustain that they should be included in the definition of SSS 10 . Treatment is also a subject under continuous re-evaluation.…”

“…Instead, the main controversy in literature remains the necessity and timing of the orbital floor reconstruction via a subconjunctival approach. Some authors prefer a one-stage approach, with endoscopic antrostomy and reconstruction of the orbital floor performed at the same time 10 , 12 . Others believe that a two-stage approach is more convenient, with a delay between antrostomy and the orbital reconstruction of 6 months 13 .…”

SUMMARY Silent sinus syndrome (SSS) is a rare disease consisting of a collapse of maxillary sinus walls with concomitant orbital floor descent. Due to its rareness, the literature highlights some confusion on its definition, diagnosis and management. A PRISMA-compliant systematic review was performed on SSS with focus on definition, diagnosis and therapeutic management. Twenty-eight studies were selected, with 276 patients evaluated. The analysis revealed that the leading definition of SSS includes evidence of both enophtalmos and maxillary atelectasia. Although the definition of SSS accepts only spontaneous sinus collapse, the presence of sinonasal diseases and history of facial trauma are starting to be included in the criteria. Most studies (n = 21) considered CT scans satisfactory for diagnosis of SSS, while 7 also performed MR. The majority of SSS were successfully treated with isolated functional endoscopic sinus surgery (n = 17), sparing orbital reconstruction as a rescue procedure in case of non-satisfactory long-term resolution of signs. Although the literature is starting to coordinate on diagnosis of SSS, our review revealed the necessity of consensus on its definition and management.

“…Endoscopic surgery of the maxillary sinus is proposed in cases without facial deformity and diplopia [19,20]. Depending on the degree of enophthalmos and hypoglobus, simultaneous or delayed reconstruction of the superior wall of the maxillary sinus is considered [10,22,28,31,44,65,66,80].…”

Objective: The intent of this chapter is to provide a systematic reappraisal of the bony anatomy of the orbit. The studies and the available literature on this topic are ever-expanding. The present knowledge shall be put into perspective.Material and Methods: Textbook and atlas descriptions served as a starting point for a comprehensive outline of the osseous anatomy of the orbits. To deepen the insight and understanding, a small selection of recent reports on specific structures has been reviewed. For visual purposes, photographs of PMHS (post mortem human subject) specimens and illustrations were used.Review/Results: The most distinctive feature of each orbit is the quadrangular pyramidal shape with a tetrahedron spire making up the orbital apex. The bony elements of the orbits are delineated with the sphenoid as backward foundation and starting base for the overall architectural composition. A closer look goes into the openings within the orbital precincts and reveals the subtleties and variations of the fissures, canals, grooves, foramina, notches, and fossae monitoring recent publications. The research modalities of these studies have shifted from dry skull investigations and PMHS dissections to modern imaging techniques (CT, MRI, CBCT) within defined living populations facilitating the analysis of hidden spaces or hard-to-reach structures in a non-destructive manner. Additional advantages of imaging include quantification and a detailed morphometric evaluation in the spirit of computational anatomy.Conclusion: In essence, the combination of traditional anatomic knowledge and the understanding of the tremendous complexity of variations characterized in new publications demands for a patient-specific diagnostic workup as exemplified in this book. As a matter of fact, however it is more likely to recognize and grasp features that one knows or knows about from previous intensive learning.
