Its main complications are of three types: cranial, endo-cranial and ophthalmological. The aim of this study was to contribute to the study of ophthalmological complications of rhino-sinusitis in our context. Material and Methods: This was a prospective study, of descriptive type, of six (6) months (July-December 2017), concerning the patients received and treated for ophthalmological complications of rhino-sinusitis at the National IgnaceDeen Hospital. Results: During our study period, we collected 32 ophthalmological complications of rhinosinusitis, i.e. 65.31% of cases. The average age of our patients was 34.25 ¡À 15.15 years with extremes of 8 and 76 years and a sex ratio of 0.45. A history of rhinitis and/or rhino-sinusitis was reported in all our patients. Housewives were the most affected socio-professional group, accounting for 34.37% of cases. The average consultation time was 20 ¡À 52 days. Tearing, palpebral oedema and purulent rhinorrhea were present in all our patients. Preseptal cellulitis and abscess were the most common complications, accounting for 56.25% and 28.12% of cases respectively. The treatment was medical-surgical. Drainage of a subperiosteal abscess of the ethmoid involved 53.12% of cases. Surgical treatment of the maxillary sinus and/or ethmoid by endoscopy was sometimes associated. The evolution was favourable in all cases. Conclusion: Ophthalmological complications of rhino-sinusitis are still frequent in our developing countries. Their management must be multidisciplinary. %K Complications %K Ophthalmologic %K Rhino-Sinusitis %K Conakry %U http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=109302
