Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Otolaryngology and ophthalmology have a long and congenial professional relationship in the development of their mutual specialties over many years. In the early years they were one professional society, but later split into their separate specialties. Some problems involve both specialties because of the shared common anatomic areas. These problems include: orbital complications of sinusitis, management of exopthalmus, silent sinus syndrome, lacrimal apparatus problems, tumor and trauma problems, optic nerve decompression, and complications of endoscopic sinus surgery. Both specialties have their own expertise to contribute to these common problems. In many cases it is in the best interest of the patient if both specialties consult and contribute their knowledge, experience, and techniques in these cases. Otolaryngologists and opthalmologists continue their long and mutually respected professional relationship. |
