“…For example, the Pacific Coast Oto-Ophthalmologic Society (PCOOS) was established in 1906 when Otolaryngology and Ophthalmology were 1 specialty, and predominantly consists of ophthalmologists and otolaryngologists from the Western United States and Canada. The Pacific Coast Oto-Ophthalmologic Society was founded 10 years prior to the establishment of the American Board of Ophthalmology in 1916, and 18 years prior to the American Board of Otolaryngology in 1924 . With its first meeting being held in 1916, PCOOS will be conducting its 103rd annual meeting this year.…”

Discussion | Histopathologic studies have shown millimetersize ruptures of the walls of the saccule, utricle, canals, and Reissner's membrane in patients with MD. 1 Schuknecht associated these ruptures with vertigo attacks and proposed the rupture theory. This is consistent with the concept of potassium intoxication in the vestibular sensory epithelium. 5 If ruptures occur during vertigo attacks, EH on MRI scans may diminish and even disappear. However, this patient's bilateral EH remained stable over a long course of repeated vertigo, as shown in Figure 2A-G; however, either ear could be involved in vertigo attacks. Although the current resolution of MRI is insufficient to disprove rupture theory, no large changes in EH (eg, rupture) occurred during this patients' vertiginous episodes.In the absence of past or ongoing evidence of migraine, we attribute this patient's recurrent vertigo attacks solely to MD. Changes in the inner ear, including changes in EH features other than EH volume, may play a role.

“…This could impair the vasa nervorum blood flow and subsequently cause a transient ischemic injury to the optic nerve. 14 Visual field defect resolved completely after surgery and this would corroborate this hypothesis. This is the first case of CMA so far to be described in association with some sort of visual field impairment and possible damage to the ipsilateral optic nerve.…”

Introduction Chronic maxillary atelectasis (CMA) is characterized by a persistent decrease in the maxillary sinus volume due to inward bowing of its walls. According to its severity, it may be classified into three clinical-radiological stages. Objective To report a case of stage II CMA associated with subclinical visual field defect. Case Report A 34-year-old woman presented with a 15-year history of recurrent episodes of sinusitis and intermittent right facial discomfort for the past 5 years. She denied visual complaints, and no facial deformities were observed on physical examination. Paranasal sinus computed tomography (CT) demonstrated a completely opacified right maxillary sinus with inward bowing of its walls, suggesting the diagnosis of stage II CMA. A computerized campimetry (CC) disclosed a scotoma adjacent to the blind spot of the right eye, indicating a possible damage to the optic nerve. The patient was submitted to functional endoscopic sinus surgery, with drainage of a thick mucous fluid from the sinus. She did well after surgery and has been asymptomatic since then. Postoperative CT was satisfactory and CC was normal. Discussion CMA occurs because of a persistent ostiomeatal obstruction, which creates negative pressure inside the sinus. It is associated with nasosinusal symptoms but had never been described in association with any visual field defect. It can be divided into stage I (membranous deformity), stage II (bony deformity), and stage III (clinical deformity). The silent sinus syndrome is a special form of CMA. This term should only be used to describe those cases with spontaneous enophthalmos, hypoglobus, and/or midfacial deformity in the absence of nasosinusal symptoms.
