摘      要：Silent sinus syndrome ( SSS ) is characterized by spontaneous and progressive unilateral enophthalmos with no other symptoms. Maxillary sinus atelectasis displayed on CT will be helpful for clinical diagnosis. The operation for better maxillary sinus ventilation shows good therapeutic effects and prognosis. In 1964, Montgometry described the first case of patient whose enophthalmos was caused by mucocele of the maxillary sinus. Since then, all otolaryngologists have taken more and more attention to this syndrome. And by June 2000, a total of 45 cases had been reported worldwide.
