Orbital emphysema is a well-recognized complication of fractures involving the orbit. Commonly, this follows nose blowing and occurs in the subcutaneous tissues. A case of emphysema within the orbital cavity caused by the pressure changes during air travel is presented. The clinical picture was similar to that seen in retrobulbar haemorrhage and required early surgical intervention. Circumstances where patients at risk may be exposed to abnormal atmospheric pressures are highlighted and the management of the condition is discussed.
眼眶气肿是累及眼眶骨折的一种公认并发症。通常，这是在擤鼻后发生于皮下组织。本文介绍了一例因航空旅行期间压力变化导致眶内气肿的病例。临床表现与球后出血相似，需要早期手术干预。强调了有风险的患者可能暴露于异常大气压力的情况，并讨论了该病的处理方法。
