| Abstract: | To describe a case of silent sinus syndrome in the perspective of imaging studies, on 2 January 2020 we present this case of a 26-year-old Bangladeshi man with unilateral right facial asymmetry and no sino-nasal symptoms. He was referred to the Ophthalmology Department with complain of right palpebral ptosis and facial asymmetry for 7 months. On physical examination, painless enophthalmos and hypo globus of the right eye was seen.
