Sinusitis associated with disorders of visual acuity.
We report a case of sinusitis associated with disorders of visual acuity. The patient's vision was dramatically improved by sinus surgery despite the fact that the changes in the ethmoidal cells were slight and had no direct observable relation to the optic nerve canal. Possible mechanisms involved in nasal optic neuritis are discussed.
