Ophthalmic parameters among groups according to relationship between the sphenoid sinus, posterior ethmoid sinus, and the optic nerve in eyes with ipsilateral chronic sinusitis (n = 51).
Fig 4.
(A) The optic discs appear normal on fundus photography (upper, right eye; lower, left eye). (B) On the OCT RNFL map, there is subtle thinning of the superior aspect of the retinal nerve fiber layer in the right eye (upper, right eye; lower, left eye). OCT GCIPL map shows normal finding. (C) Reliable automated perimetry demonstrates generalized decreased sensitivity in both eyes (upper, right eye; lower, left eye) (mean deviation -4.62 dB, pattern standard deviation 5.40 dB in his right eye; mean deviation -7.85 dB, pattern standard deviation 5.68 dB in his left eye). (D) The ostiomeatal CT image shows sinusitis of the posterior ethmoid and sphenoid sinuses. In addition, the optic nerve protrudes into a well pneumatized posterior ethmoid sinus (Onodi cell) with some bony dehiscence.
