Description Superior orbital fissure syndrome is a rare condition with a well-defined clinical presentation. Key clinical features include ophthalmoplegia, ptosis, impaired extraocular muscle function, proptosis, and paresthesia of the frontal region. These symptoms arise from damage to the neurovascular contents in the fissure. Standard treatment protocol does not currently exist due to the rarity of the condition. Treatment options described include conservative observation, versus steroids or surgery.
