  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

 A 81 year-old man with orbital apex syndrome, is reported. Radiological examination revealed an extensive bony destruction resulting from a carcinoma of one of the right paranasal sinuses, most likely the posterior ethmoid sinus. It should be noted that in this case the patient had not complained of nasal symptoms, but hesuffered from a total loss of vision. At post mortem serial histological sections of the ethmoid area were prepared in frontal plane. These sections included the optic nerve which showedneural degeneration. However, the nerve was not invaded by the tumor nor was it inflamed. The optic neuropathy occurred, probably, because of compression of the nerve by the tumor.
