    A rare case of pediatric polypoid sinusitis caused rapid eye protrusion and eyelid mass in a 15-year-old boy. The sinusitis extended through the lamina papyracea, causing significant facial changes.

    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Ophthalmology
    • Pediatric Radiology

    Background:

    • Orbital complications from sinonasal disease are uncommon in pediatric patients.
    • Rapidly progressive exophthalmos can indicate aggressive underlying pathology.

    Observation:

    • A 15-year-old male presented with a 6 mm exophthalmos developing over two months.
    • Physical examination revealed a firm mass in the right upper eyelid and nasal obstruction.
    • Radiological imaging demonstrated bony erosion and an orbital mass.

    Findings:

    • The orbital mass was identified as polypoid sinusitis.
    • The sinusitis had breached the lamina papyracea, extending into the orbit.

    Implications:

    Related Experiment Videos

  • This case highlights the importance of considering sinonasal origins for orbital masses in children.
  • Early diagnosis and management are crucial to prevent vision loss and further complications.
  • Polypoid sinusitis can present with aggressive orbital involvement, requiring multidisciplinary care.
