  • Title: [Post-traumatic orbital emphysema: a case report].
    Author: Gloaguen Y, Cochard-Marianowski C, Potard G, Rogez F, Meriot P, Cochener B.
    Journal: J Fr Ophtalmol; 2006 Oct; 29(8):e18. PubMed ID: 17075497.
    Abstract:
    Orbital emphysema is often associated with orbital fracture or communication with paranasal sinuses. It is usually moderate but could be the cause of optic neuropathy or central retinal artery occlusion. We report a case of massive orbital emphysema with ocular hypertony and prethrombosis of the central retinal artery. Emergency surgical decompression performed by an ophthalmologist and an otorhinolaryngologist provided complete and prompt relief. The authors emphasize the importance of preventing nose blowing after orbital trauma or surgery.
