CT and MRI diagnosis of silent sinus syndrome

Abstract: Both CT and MR imaging enable a diagnosis of SSS to be made, but CT provides a better depiction of all features of SSS necessary for diagnosis and differentiation from other sinus conditions, even in patients without a clinical suspicion of SSS.

“…(a) Silent sinus syndrome, also called imploding antrum syndrome [ 62 ], is a rare disorder characterized by unilateral or bilateral enophthalmos and hypoglobus caused by an alteration of the orbital architecture due to maxillary sinus collapse with chronic hypoventilation [ 62 -64 ]. Its basic pathology involves negative maxillary antral pressure because of obstruction of the ethmoid infundibulum, which generates negative pressure over time [ 65 ].…”

“…CT scans are typical and make the diagnosis definitive [3,4,[8][9][10]. Coronal scans usually show laterally retracted uncinate process and medial sinus wall, enlarged medial meatus, inferiorly displaced orbital floor, increased orbital volume, and axial scans show inward retracted medial and superior walls of the maxillary sinus (MS), decreased MS volume (atelectasis of the maxillary sinus).…”
