Introduction: The close relationship between diseases of the paranasal sinuses system and the orbit is based on their anatomical relationship. About 60% to 80% of the osseous eye socket is made up by sinus walls. Objective: To describe evaluation of orbital complications in patient with paranasal sinuses diseases at Dr. M. Djamil Hospital Padang for 2005-2014. Method: Descriptive study we obtained from medical record of patients during January 2005- December 2014.
