Proptosis secondary to pneumocele of the maxillary sinus

Proptosis secondary to pneumocele of the maxillary sinus 234 11 11 2 2 F. S. Vines C. T. Bonstelle H. L. Floyd Department of Radiology, Medical College of Virginia Virginia Commonwealth University 23298 Richmond Virginia USA Department of Radiology St. Luke's Hospital 7700 Parkham Road 23229 Richmond Virginia USA Summary The third known case of a pneumocele of the maxillary sinus is reported. Radiographic findings included hyperlucency of a maxillary sinus with generalized expansion of its borders. Bone dehiscence was also visible with tomography. The present case emphasizes a gradual onset of clinical signs manifested primarily by proptosis.
