Abstract

A total number of 62 cases of ophthalmological manifestations caused by various ENT diseases, mostly paranasal tumour extensions, nasopharyngeal tumour and furunculosis of nose were analysed in a retrospective study in relation to their age, sex, clinical, radiological and HP profile. CT scan was considered as the most dependable investigating tool. Different modalities of medical and surgical treatment have been adopted according to location and nature of the disease. A close cooperation is needed between otolaryngologist and ophthalmologist to overcome this challenge.
