Three Cases of Unilateral Visual Loss Caused by Sinus Disease

Abstract

Three cases of unilateral visual loss caused by sinus lesion were encountered and we report three cases with literature review. Sinus inflammatory disease like sinusitis or mucocele is a common disease, but visual loss complicated by which is rare. It can be fatal and is known to have a poor prognosis. Appropriate and prompt management like intravenous antibiotics and surgical drainage must be done, when a patient is suspected of having visual loss by sinus problem. We report a case of unilateral visual loss caused by sinusitis, two cases by mucocele. The clinical courses and possible management are discussed.
