  • Title: Orbital apex syndrome from blunt ocular trauma.
    Author: Peter NM, Pearson AR.
    Journal: Orbit; 2010 Feb; 29(1):42-4. PubMed ID: 20302410.
    Abstract:
    Orbital apex syndrome (OAS) is a rare condition due to a range of pathological processes around the optic nerve foramen and the superior orbital fissure causing characteristic functional loss. It is a rare complication of trauma and results from penetrating injuries as well as those involving bony fractures. We present a case of OAS from non-penetrating ocular trauma without bony involvement.
