Abstract
- Endoscopic sinus surgery is a popular surgical treatment for chronic sinus disease. Despite improved surgical techniques, postoperative orbital complications can occur, including extraocular muscle injury. We report the case of a 62-year-old woman who suffered from medial rectus muscle transection after transnasal endoscopic ethmoidectomy. She was successfully managed with periorbital globe fixation.
