The association between supraorbital ethmoid air cells and orbital proptosis in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis

Orbital proptosis is a known possible complication in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). This study was undertaken to determine the association of sinus anatomy and anatomic variants with the predisposition for such a complication.
