title: Symptomatic osteoma originated from lamina papyracea.
abstract: We describe a 74-year-old woman with osteoma of the lamina papyracea who only presented with 4-month history of an unspecific compression and pain in the medial canthal area of the left eye. The patient reported prompt relief from her pain after resection of the osteoma by endoscopic sinus surgery and she was free of pain clinically with no evidence of recurrence at 12 months followup. Also, we reviewed the literature relevant to the pathophysiology of the osteoma pain.
