Abstract

Thin bony plates of the para nasal sinuses make two thirds of the walls of the orbit. A lesion in para nasal sinus may affect the orbit and at times cause displacement of the globe by decreasing orbital volume. The purpose of this case is to reemphasise the importance of rhinological examination and sinus radiology as one of the preliminary investigations in all cases of proptosis so that proper diagnosis could be made early and effective treatment instituted in time.
