Abstract

A male (>30 years old) presented with sudden swelling of his right orbital region after blowing his nose was transferred to our emergency room. During the previous evening, the patient's right oculus was struck by the head of his son. Computed tomography revealed a blowout fracture of the medial wall of his right orbit with orbital emphysema. No other abnormality was observed on ophthalmologic examination. The orbital emphysema was improved with conservative therapy. When sudden swelling of the right orbital region is observed, orbital emphysema complicated with orbital fracture should be considered as a differential diagnosis.
