Orbital Complications of Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery

V. Stoyanov, A. Vlaykov, D. Mihaylov, P. Dimov

Abstract

Objective: Functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) is an operating procedure for surgical treatment of diseases of the paranasal sinuses. There are precised indications for this surgical intervention. Like any invasive intervention there is a risk of occurrence of complications. Some of the most common are the orbital complications.
Methods: By analyzing the available literature, the authors compare and summarize the results of various studies on this subject.
Results: Orbital complications are rare but can be with severe consequences, including the complete loss of vision, and even death. Most of them after adequate treatment have not substantial implications but the underestimation can have serious consequences.
Conclusion: The first step to avoid complications is prevention. If we have doubts of complications they must be precised instantly and act responsibly towards them. In the presence of this complication, one should be immediately consulted with an ophthalmologist and periodic assessment of IOP and visual acuity.
