[Orbit complication of sinusitis. A report of 7 cases].
Orbital complications of sinusitis were reviewed. Seven cases seen in a 6-year period from 1989 to 1994 were classified following Chandler. The pathogenesis, classification, diagnosis, and treatment of orbital complications, which are rare and steadily decreasing in frequency, are discussed. Because of its possible consequences, this complication should not be overlooked.
