Description: Some diseases of the paranasal sinuses may extend to the orbit. Since their primary symptoms may well be ophthalmic, such as exophthalmos, it is highly important that both the rhinologist and the ophthalmologist should be capable of recognizing them so as to determine the character of the morbid process.Cooperation among specialists in these related fields has hitherto been inadequate, since not all realize its urgency.Rhinologists and ophthalmologists mostly work on their own, having a comparatively little knowledge of the symptoms of related diseases, which is detrimental to early diagnosis and effective treatment.The basic aim of this book is to familiarize the reader, above all the otorhinolaryngologist and the ophthalmologist, with the clinical symptoms, methods of diagnosis, principles of conservative treatment and techniques of surgery for affections of the paranasal sinuses, such as emphysema, non-inflammatory processes, tumors, etc., which often extend to the orbit and orbital contents.
