We report a case of a 19 year old healthy man who presented with a chief complaint of unilateral eyelid droop in the setting of three days of sinusitis symptoms.

From the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Kaiser Permanente San Diego Medical Center, San Diego, CA (Horan), the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Summit Orthopedics, Eagan, MN (Baer), Shiley Center for Orthopaedic Research and Education (SCORE) at Scripps Clinic, La Jolla, CA (Shah), Georgetown University School of Medicine, Washington, DC (Shah), and the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Scripps Clinic, La Jolla, CA (Wilde, Copp, and Bugbee).

Evaluation of various psychosocial parameters may improve patient optimization and outcomes. The primary aim was to assess whether preoperative resilience remained stable and influenced decision regret postoperatively while the secondary aim was to evaluate its correlation with joint-specific and global health patient-reported outcome measures.
