  • Title: Spontaneous enophthalmos associated with asymptomatic maxillary sinus disease (silent sinus syndrome): case report.
    Author: Rose TP.
    Journal: J Am Optom Assoc; 1998 Apr; 69(4):236-40. PubMed ID: 9585663.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: Cases of spontaneous enophthalmos (in otherwise asymptomatic patients) that are unrelated to trauma, surgery, or systemic disease have been reported infrequently in the literature. CASE REPORT: We present a 41-year-old patient who demonstrated this recently reported constellation of findings referred to as silent sinus syndrome. CONCLUSION: Consideration should be given to the causes of spontaneous and acquired enophthalmos and the possibility of silent sinus syndrome. Other causes of enophthalmos based on the clinical features should also be considered.
