Traumatic displacement of the globe into the ethmoid sinus - 05/09/11
Abstract |
PURPOSE: To describe displacement of the globe into the ethmoid sinus after an orbital trauma.
METHOD: Case report. A 58-year-old man sustained trauma of the left eye and orbit, which resulted in displacement of the globe into the ethmoid sinus. One day after injury, surgery was performed to restore the intact globe into position within the orbit.
RESULTS: After operation, the globe held in its anatomical site, and 10 months after surgery the visual acuity was 20/100, slight pallor of the optic disk was present, and there was no limitation of the horizontal and vertical ductions.
CONCLUSIONS: To our knowledge, this is the first case of traumatic displacement of the globe into the ethmoid sinus with satisfactory restoration of normal globe position and preservation of vision.
