title: Orbital complications of acute sinusitis.
abstract: Although the association of sinusitis and inflammation of the orbits has been known for centuries, and the incidence widespread until the introduction of antibiotics, there has been a marked decline in the number of case reports in the medical literature since the 1940s. In this paper three recent cases are presented, with a review of the anatomy, clinical features and the authors' approach to the management of the problem, along with a literature search of this topic.
