Sinusitis is a frequent and very often under-diagnosed condition. Despite the constantly increasing number of antibiotics with improved efficacy, prevention of its complications remains difficult. The prevalence of these complications is estimated at 3.7%. Their clinical presentation is highly variable making the diagnosis difficult and thereby increasing mortality. In this article, historical, epidemiological, pathophysiological, clinical and therapeutic aspects of neuro-ophthalmological complications of sinusitis are reviewed. For didactic reasons, the various complications have been divided into extra-axial, intra-axial, vascular, and orbital. Specific paragraph have been devoted to sinusitis-related bone complications and pain syndromes. It's however obvious that various more or less complex associations of these complications can be seen in daily practice.
