Abstract
A 57-year-old man had isolated transient recurrent vertical diplopia. Left hypoglobus and enophthalmos were present. Investigations revealed an otherwise asymptomatic left maxillary chronic aspecific sinusitis, with 8 mm lowering of the left orbital floor. Transient diplopia was thought to be secondary to transient fusion impairment. Orbital floor reconstruction cured the patient.
