Complicación del drenaje endoscópico en un paciente con absceso retroorbitario: Caso clínico

2011 
La rinosinusitis aguda, puede presentar una serie de complicaciones conocidas, un grupo de ellas son las complicaciones orbitarias. Se presenta la historia de un paciente que consulto por proptosis ocular, siendo diagnosticado un absceso subperiostico retroorbitario secundario a una rinosinusitis aguda. Se trato con tecnica endoscopica, evoluciona con un hematoma retroorbitario que tuvo que ser drenado con un abordaje mixto, endoscopico y abierto, con buena evolucion. Actualmente las complicaciones orbitarias de la rinosinusitis aguda tienen una baja prevalencia, y asi, las complicaciones del drenaje endoscopico son aun menos frecuentes. Se destaca la importancia del conocimiento del manejo tanto endoscopico como abierto. Among acute rhinosinusitis complications, the ones with orbital involvement are relevant. We present a case report of a patient who presented proptosis and was initially diagnosed with a retro ocular abscess as a complication to an acute rhinosinusitis. The abscess was drained with an endoscopic sinus surgery. On the fourth post-surgery day a retro ocular hematoma was diagnosed. The hematoma was treated with a combined open and endoscopic approach with a favorable outcome. In conclusion, even though orbital complications of rhinosinusitis nowadays have low prevalence, and orbital complications of their endoscopic management are even rarer, it is important for the otorhinolaryngologist to be familiar with their open, endoscopic, or combined surgical treatment.
