The use of high-speed air-cooled rotary cutting instruments is common in dental practices. When used near open wounds, the forced air can lead to subcutaneous emphysema and involvement of vital structures. This case highlights the unfortunate episode of orbital emphysema with optic nerve damage after a pneumatically cooled drill was used in the removal of a mandibular second molar.
高速风冷旋转切割器械在牙科诊疗中常用。在开放性伤口附近使用时,强制气流可导致皮下气肿并累及重要结构。本病例突出了在使用气冷式牙钻拔除下颌第二磨牙后发生眼眶气肿并伴有视神经损伤这一不幸事件。
