Article Abstract
A 32-year-old woman presented with mild enophthalmos of her right eye of recent onset. A CT scan revealed characteristic findings of silent sinus syndrome, involving not just the maxillary but the less frequently reported ethmoid sinus as well. A clinically and radiologically noted shrunken and lateralized middle turbinate was a strong pointer to the suspected cause. The symptoms resolved with endoscopic sinus drainage.

Silent sinus syndrome is a rare condition that typically affects the maxillary sinus, with only a few reported cases of frontal sinus involvement. Blockage of the sinus ostium leads to persistent hypoventilation, creating negative pressure and eventual sinus collapse. This report describes a previously undocumented case of facial asymmetry due to frontal silent sinus syndrome, following multiple childhood nasal injuries.

Article Synopsis
- * A 62-year-old man underwent a successful one-stop procedure that integrated ethanol infusion in the vein of Marshall, radiofrequency catheter ablation, and left atrial appendage occlusion.
- * Follow-up results showed effective AF treatment with sinus rhythm and no silent ischemia, suggesting this innovative approach could be beneficial for patients with AF.
