title: [Silent sinus syndrome. Clinical case].
abstract: METHODS
  A 53 year-old man presented with a progressive enophthalmos without any sinus or nasal symptoms. There was no history of a trauma. The ophthalmology examination showed enophtalmos and hypoglobus. The computerized tomography (CT) showed a collapsed maxillary and frontal sinus and a lateral deviation of the nasal septum that led us to the diagnosis.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The clinical features of silent sinus syndrome are described, as well as the need to distinguish it from maxillary sinusitis.
