Silent sinus syndrome (SSS) is a rare clinical syndrome associated with characteristic spontaneous and gradual downward bowing of the orbital floor caused by impaired sinus ventilation. The author experienced a rare case of SSS in a 35-year-old woman patient. She was referred for evaluation of a spontaneous orbital asymmetry with right enophthalmos and hypoglobus. She underwent functional endoscopic sinus surgery to open obstructed maxillary sinus ostium and aesthetic eyelid surgery to enhance the appearance of her orbital asymmetry. These surgical treatments brought about the effect of making her eyes look more symmetric, refreshed, and alert. Here, the author reports a good treatment result of SSS without orbital floor reconstruction along with review of literatures. (C) 2016 by Mutaz B. Habal, MD.
