Repeated bouts of nose blowing can at times lead to orbital emphysema due to stress fracture in the medial or the inferior wall of the orbit. Very rarely, this can result from paranasal sinus osteoma rendering the orbital wall weak. We report only the fifth case of literature to have such an association. Also, we managed our case non-surgically, as against the previous reports treated surgically. In discussion, we highlight the nuances related to principles of management, including the role of computed tomography, and surgical intervention.
反复用力擤鼻有时会因眼眶内侧壁或下壁应力性骨折导致眼眶气肿。极少数情况下,这可能由鼻窦骨瘤使眼眶壁变薄所致。我们报告的是文献中第五例有这种关联的病例。此外,与之前手术治疗的报告不同,我们对该病例进行了非手术治疗。在讨论中,我们强调了与治疗原则相关的细微差别,包括计算机断层扫描的作用和手术干预。
