Acute rhinosinusitis is a rare cause of abducens nerve palsy. Most reported cases with VIth cranial nerve palsy associated sphenoid sinusitis are fungal sphenoid sinusitis, mucocele, or severe bacterial sinusitis. In this report, we present a patient with acute mild sphenoid sinusitis presented as abducens nerve palsy associated with prominent sphenoid pneumatization to the Dorello’s canal.
