Although uncommon, enophthalmos may be a presenting symptom of chronic maxillary sinusitis with secondary attentuation of the orbital floor. As such, as awareness of this entity, known as the "silent sinus syndrome," is important to all practising otolaryngologists. Two such cases are presented herein, together with a discussion of the pathophysiology, management, and current literature.
尽管眼球内陷并不常见，但它可能是慢性上颌窦炎伴眶底继发性变薄的一个表现症状。因此，认识到这种被称为“沉默性窦综合征”的病症，对所有执业耳鼻喉科医生来说都很重要。本文介绍了两例这样的病例，并对其病理生理学、治疗方法及当前文献进行了讨论。
