Emergency Decompression of Orbital Emphysema, a Sight-Saving Tool in a Patient With Precious Eye.
Journal of Craniofacial Surgery 2024 March 19
A woman, 19 years old, with a history of falling from a height with resulting zygomatico-maxillar complex fracture on the right side, a mandibular fracture on the left side for which she underwent repair with plate insertion, and traumatic optic atrophy in her right eye, presented 9 months later with eye facial swelling, proptosis, and acute rapid loss of vision in the left eye. The diagnosis was done immediately aided by radiology assistance and a decision was taken to admit the patient to undergo urgent decompression to save the vision and the patient did recover well. This case presented here and the associated literature review focus on severe orbital emphysema with compressive optic neuropathy and orbital compartment syndrome as a morbidity that can exist with delayed presentation after trauma and not elicited by sneezing or forced blowing, as well as the drastic importance of brisk intervention, to save vision and prevent visual complications if left untreated.
