Article Synopsis
- Orbital apex syndrome (OAS) is a rare and serious condition that can affect vision and potentially be life-threatening due to its links to sinus infections.
- A study reviewed 27 patients who had OAS caused by sinusitis and underwent endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) from 2011 to 2021, focusing on symptom resolution and outcomes.
- Results showed that while some patients experienced stabilization or improvement in vision post-surgery, there were significant reductions in ptosis (70% improvement) and ophthalmoplegia (85% improvement), with minimal complications and a low mortality rate of 3.7%.
