Silent sinus syndrome (SSS) is defined as a progressive enophthalmos and hypoglobus associated with maxillary sinus atelectasis. There is extremely limited literature describing SSS in children. The goals of this study are to characterize SSS in children through an IRB approval retrospective chart review of cases identified through a large health system-wide imaging database and to compare the presentation and outcomes of patients who underwent surgery versus those who were observed.
