ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To report a case of eyeball displacement into the ethmoid sinus followed by early surgical intervention and good visual recovery. CASESUMMARY:
A 46-year-old female visited our hospital after she injured the right side of her face. Her visual acuity could not be measured and computed tomography revealed displacement of the right eyeball into the ethmoid sinus, as well as right medial orbital wall fracture and rupture of the right medial rectus muscle. She underwent surgical reduction of the herniated eyeball and surgical correction of the medial orbital wall fracture within 20 hours after the accident. Eighteen months after the surgery, visual acuity of the right eye improved from light perception to 20/28, and her color vision and visual field of the right eye improved to normal range.CONCLUSIONS:
Displacement of the eyeball in the orbital wall fracture is very rare, and eyeball displacement into the ethmoid sinus is even rarer. We achieved good visual outcome through early surgical intervention. The early anatomical reduction of the displacement and wall fracture may promote improved final visual outcome in other similar cases.
