Abstract

A case of fistulae in the inner canthus arising from the ethmoidal air cell sinuses is presented.

This type of complication is very rare, and to the best of our knowledge no similar case has been reported in the literature.

Clinical findings, imaging, pathology and treatment are presented and discussed.
