متن کاملOrbital emphysema in COPD with bronchopleural fistula
Orbital emphysema is usually a benign, self-limited condition. Intraorbital extension of the entrapped air in the absence of an orbital fracture is extremely rare. Although benign, a careful periodic monitoring of intraocular pressure, optic nerve examinations, and prompt management are warranted in order to prevent tension pneumoobitus secondary to increasing intraorbital pressure by the orbit...
متن کاملEmergency decompression of tension retrobulbar emphysema secondary to orbital floor fracture
