Summary:Silent sinus syndrome is a rare clinical entity affecting the maxillary sinus, characterized by ipsilateral enophthalmos and hypoglobus. Its etiology and pathophysiology are still debated. It is diagnosed by clinical examination and confirmed with computed tomography. It is commonly managed surgically. We present the case of a 34-year-old woman with silent sinus syndrome treated with a patient-specific implant for orbital reconstruction, functional endoscopic sinus surgery approach, intraoperative scan, and surgical navigation, successfully restoring orbital volume and sinus ventilation.
