    AFTER USING THE FUSION AND NUVENT¿ FRONTAL SINUS DILATION BALLOON, THE FRONTAL SINUSES WERE IRRIGATED WITH THE HYDRODEBRIDER. THE PATIENT PRESENTED WITH SWELLING OF THE CONJUNCTIVAL EYELIDS. IRRIGATION WAS STOPPED. THE SURGEON DECOMPRESSED THE PATIENT'S RIGHT EYELID AND REDUCED THE SWELLING BY PERFORMING A LATERAL CANTHOTOMY, TAKING DOWN THE MEDIAL ORBITAL WALL. SINCE THE SWELLING WAS PRE-SEPTAL, THE DOCTOR BELIEVES THAT THE ENTRY OF THE SALINE WAS NOT RELATED TO THE USE OF THE NUVENT OR THE SINUS DISSECTION, BUT BELIEVES THAT THIS PATIENT, WHO HAS A HISTORY OF FACIAL TRAUMA, HAD A PREEXISTING DEHISCENCE OF THE ORBIT THAT WAS TOO SMALL TO SHOW UP IN THE PRE OR POST OPERATIVE CT'S THAT WERE TAKEN. THE PATIENT HAS RECOVERED; THERE ARE NO COMPLICATIONS. THE SURGERY TIME WAS EXTENDED FOR ONE HOUR AS THE ORBITAL DECOMPRESSION WAS ADDED TO THE PROCEDURE, AND AN OPHTHALMOLOGIST WAS CALLED IN TO ASSIST. A POSTOPERATIVE CT CONFIRMED THERE WAS NO FLUID IN THE BRAIN OR REMAINING IN THE RIGHT ORBIT. THE SURGEON CONFIRMED THAT "THE LATERAL CANTHOTOMY AND MEDIAL ORBITAL WALL DECOMPRESSION WERE PREVENTATIVE."
