Blow out fracture of orbit involves fracture of orbital floor without fracture of infraorbital rim. This injury is common from frontal blow to orbit. Frontal blow to orbit causes increased intraorbital tension causing fracture of floor of the orbit (weak point) with prolapse of orbital content into the maxillary sinus cavity. This causes enophthalmos and diplopia. Infraorbital rim is not involv...

INTRODUCTION Progressive hemifacial atrophy, known as Parry-Romberg syndrome (PRS), was first described by Parry in 1825. There is a progressive atrophy of facial tissues including skin, bones and muscles. Ophthalmic disorders are common and include keratitis, uveitis, cataract, ipsilateral enophthalmos, optic neuritis, retinal vasculitis and scleral melting. CASE PRESENTATION We describe a p...

A 44-year-old man was referred to our department with diplopia, periorbital swelling and haematoma of the left eye after orbital trauma due to a punch. During the examination, mild enophthalmos, hypertropia and a total absence of infraduction were observed. An orbital computed tomography (CT) scan demonstrated a left orbital floor blow-out fracture, with caudal herniation of periorbital fat and...

Introduction: this is a case of a patient with the rare entity of Parry-romberg syndrome (Prs) which discuss the etiological association with preceding head trauma as well as the possible therapeutic role of vitamin b12, with a brief review of literature. case report: A 22-year-old female presented with a history of head injury preceding the progressive onset of right-sided facial pain and atro...

The anatomy of reptile ears and eyes differ from that of mammals, and among different reptile groups. Species predilections exist for different Problems associated with the ears of reptiles include nodular swelling, discolored tympanum, head tilt, and circling. Problems of the eyes include pronounced or frequent blinking, periorbital swelling, blepharoedema (palpebral edema), buphthalmos (enlar...

Silent Sinus Syndrome (SSS) is known to be a rare clinical condition, characterized by spontaneous and progressive enophthalmos and hypoglobus associated with atelectasis of the maxillary sinus and alteration of the orbital floor. Most of the patients with this syndrome present with ophthalmological complaints without any nasal sinus symptoms, and it typically has a painless course and slow dev...

A four generation family in which familial exudative vitreoretinopathy is inherited as an X linked condition is described. Essentially the condition is one of abnormal vascularisation and signs at birth are those of a retinopathy superficially resembling retinopathy of prematurity, retinal folds, or, in advanced cases, enophthalmos or even phthisis. Prognosis depends on the progression of the r...

Joubert syndrome (JS) is characterized by the "molar tooth sign" (MTS) with cerebellar vermis agenesis, episodic hyperpnea, abnormal eye movements, and hypotonia. Ocular and oculomotor abnormalities have been observed; however, Horner syndrome (HS) has not been documented in children with JS. We present the case of a 2-month-old boy having ocular abnormalities with bilateral nystagmus, left-dom...

Congenital ocular malformation may lead to failure of the development of ocular regions and visual function in the pediatric population. Orbital bones are established within the first 2 months of embryogenesis. Any abnormalities may lead to failure in development of the ocular region. In this case report, we present a newborn with congenital canthus malposition, a distorted tarsus, and mild eno...

PURPOSE To describe the occurrence of intermittent visual loss in a patient with orbital hemangioma due to the blue rubber bleb nevus syndrome. METHODS Case report. RESULTS A 70-year-old woman complained of intermittent blurred vision combined with pressure behind her left eye occurring after head bending or Valsalva maneuvers. Examination revealed 2 mm of enophthalmos on the left. After do...
