ABSTRACT

Orbital blowout fractures are a common facial injury accompanied by a sudden increase in intraorbital pressure. The clinical complications of persistent diplopia and enophthalmos are well known. However, orbital blowout factures with herniation of orbital tissue into the OMUs (Ostiomeatal Units) may rarely result in acute or chronic sinonasal obstructive symptomatology. We experienced a 27-year-old male patient with frontal sinusitis who was diagnosed with blowout fracture of medial and inferior orbital wall 8 years ago. He had done the reduction operation only for the inferior orbital wall. As a results, the medial orbital wall is remained untreated for 8 years. So far, there has been no report for frontal sinusitis with untreated pure blowout fracture. So the authors have intended to report along with the review of literatures.
