Proptosis Due To Otolaryngology Causes A Study, Balasubramanian Thiagarajan, Srikamakshi Kothandaraman
Balasubramanian Thiagarajan
Proximity of orbit to nose and paranasal sinuses makes it rather vulnerable to insults due to otolaryngological causes. The medial wall of orbit (Lamina papyracea) is rather paper thin and it happens to form the lateral wall of anterior ethmoid air cells. Infections / tumors involving paranasal sinuses can involve orbit also causing proptosis. The aim of the article is to study the common otolaryngological causes of proptosis in our Institution during 2009 – 2012.

Anatomy Of Orbit Otolaryngologist's Perspective, Balasubramanian Thiagarajan
Balasubramanian Thiagarajan
A careful study of anatomy of orbit is very important to an ENT surgeon because of its proximity to the para nasal sinuses. A comprehensive knowledge of orbital and peri orbital anatomy is necessary to understand the various disorders of this region and in its surgical management. Current day otolaryngologists venture into other unchartered territories like orbit, lacrimal sac etc. Anatomical knowledge of this area will help otolaryngologists to avoid complications during surgical procedures involving this area. This article attempts to explore this topic from otolaryngologist’s perspective.
