Functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FES) effectively treats acute orbit complications from sinusitis. This minimally invasive approach rapidly resolves symptoms by addressing the ethmoiditis and draining the orbit, avoiding external incisions.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Ophthalmology
  • Surgical Innovation

Background:

  • Orbital complications secondary to sinusitis require prompt management.
  • Acute orbit is proposed as a unifying term for these evolving conditions.
  • Ethmoiditis is a common precursor to orbital involvement.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a case series of patients with acute orbit and ethmoiditis.
  • To evaluate the efficacy of functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FES) in managing these complications.
  • To discuss surgical indications based on clinical and imaging findings.

Main Methods:

  • Four patients with acute orbit and ethmoiditis were treated.
  • Transnasal ethmoidectomy and orbital drainage were performed using FES.

  • Surgical approach was tailored to individual patient needs, prioritizing sinusitis treatment.

    • Main Results:

    • FES allowed for staged surgical intervention, beginning with sinusitis management.
    • The technique successfully drained the orbit and treated the ethmoiditis.
    • No orbital skin incisions were required.
    • Patients experienced rapid postoperative symptom resolution.

    Conclusions:

    • Functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FES) is a viable and effective treatment for acute orbit secondary to sinusitis.
    • This endoscopic approach offers a minimally invasive alternative to traditional open surgeries.
    • Early intervention with FES can lead to rapid recovery and avoid external scarring.
