Retrobulbar Hematoma from Warfarin Toxicity and the Limitations of Bedside Ocular Sonography

Early Detection of Traumatic Retrobulbar Hemorrhage Using Bedside Ocular Ultrasound.

A 35-year-old man with no prior medical history presented to the Emergency Department (ED) with left eye pain and blurry vision 1 h after blunt traumatic injury from a direct punch. On examination, he was afebrile with a blood pressure of 119/73 mm Hg, a regular heart rate of 52 beats/min, and a Glasgow Coma Scale score of 15. Physical examination revealed proptosis and significant periorbital ...

Ocular sonography in patients with raised intracranial pressure: the papilloedema revisited

Invasive devices are recommended for the early detection of raised intracranial pressure (ICP) after severe traumatic brain injury. Owing to contraindication or local issues, however, invasive ICP monitoring is not always possible. Moreover, a significant proportion of moderate traumatic brain injury patients (managed without invasive ICP) will develop raised ICP. Reliable noninvasive ICP techn...

A Rare Complication with the Concomitant use of Warfarin and Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs: Hemoperitoneum and Intramural Small Bowel Hematoma

Retrobulbar hemorrhage: inferolateral anterior orbitotomy for emergent management.

R etrobulbar hemorrhages may occur from facial trauma, orbital surgery, and peribulbar or retrobulbar injections. Although a retrobulbar hemorrhage reportedly occurs in less than 2% of retrobulbar anesthetic injections, it may result in a devastating loss of vision by compression of the circulation from mechanical tamponade, central retinal artery occlusion, or optic atrophy if not detected and...
