title: [Sinus syndrome, an uncommon cause of enophthalmos].
abstract: METHODS
  A 29-year-old woman presented with a subjective sensation of ocular asymmetry from several months beforehand. Ophthalmological exam showed 3,5 mm right enophthalmos and light hypoglobus. CT (Computerized Tomography) scan showed a collapsed maxillar sinus, and a thinned inferior orbital wall. The diagnosis of silent sinus syndrome was made. An endoscopic maxillary antrostomy with uncinectomy was made with an excellent surgical outcome.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Clinical features of silent sinus syndrome are described, including diagnosis, differential diagnosis and treatment.
