        <p>Silent sinus syndrom is rare and slow progressive disorder associated with asymptomatic chronic maxillary sinusitis and collapse of the orbital floor. The most common manifestations are enophtalmos, hypoglobus and pseudoretraction upper eyelid. Silent sinus syndrome is almost a unilateral condition and is usually diagnosed in patients in their 30´s and 40´s. The largest risk factors is underlaying aberrant nasal anatomy. The subsequent osteomeatal complex obstruction leads to hypoventilation of the maxillary sinus and negative pressure development. The sinus cavity is filed with a combination of mucus and acellular transudate. This proces create a chronic mucosal inflammation with demineralization and collapse of the orbital floor. CT imaging is pathognomonic and shows ipsilateral maxilar sinusitis and the orbital floor is inferiorly displaced. The differential diagnosis includes chronic sinusitis, osteomyelitis, malignat sinus infiltration and orbital trauma. The endoscopic antrostomy is the gold standard to re-establish normal sinus aeration. In this article we describe patient with silent sinus syndrome, who has been treated at our clinic and his symptoms were corrected ad integrum after the surgery.</p>

CONCLUSION Silent sinus syndrome is a rare pathology caused by progressive and asymptomatic atelectasis of the maxillary sinus. The diagnosis is often determined by an ophthalmologist due to manifestations of enophthalmos, hypoglobus and pseudo-retraction of the upper eyelid. Despite the fact that it is possible to determine the diagnosis only on the basis of the clinical symptoms, MR examination is indicated, which is highly beneficial for demonstrating this pathology. Treatment takes place in co-operation with ENT, and consists in restoration of normal ventilation of the maxillary sinus by endoscopic antrostomy, and if applicable reconstruction of the orbital floor with the aid of implants. The patient referred to in our case report experienced a rapid regression of the clinical symptoms after the operation, without the necess</mixed-citation>
