Chronic maxillary sinusitis can cause orbital complications like enophthalmos. Surgical reconstruction using titanium micromesh and cartilage effectively corrects this, often combined with sinus ostium ventilation.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Ophthalmology
  • Plastic Surgery

Background:

  • Chronic maxillary sinusitis can lead to sinus ostium obstruction, mucus retention, and bone resorption.
  • This process may cause secondary orbital complications, including enophthalmos (sunken eye).
  • Surgical intervention is often necessary to address both sinus obstruction and orbital deformities.

Observation:

  • A series of 6 patients with chronic maxillary sinusitis and enophthalmos were reviewed.
  • The study examined the effectiveness of titanium micromesh orbital floor reconstruction.
  • Onlay concha cartilage was used in some cases for added support.

Findings:

  • Titanium micromesh reconstruction reliably corrected enophthalmos in the studied patients.
  • Combined orbital floor reconstruction and sinus ostium ventilation can be performed safely in a single procedure.

  • Modifications to standard endoscopic techniques are recommended to prevent orbital penetration during surgery.

    • Implications:

    • This approach offers a safe and effective single-stage solution for complex sinusitis-related orbital issues.
    • The findings provide valuable recommendations for managing both sinus obstruction and secondary enophthalmos.
    • Further research can refine endoscopic techniques for improved patient outcomes in orbital reconstruction.
