A 5-year-old child with Crouzon's disease presented with luxation of the eyeballs and advanced endophthalmitis as a result of which both the eyes had to be enucleated. This case led us to study the family pedigree. The factors influencing the pattern of clinical presentation, and hence the ultimate treatment of orbital disease, are discussed. The case is presented to emphasise the different concept of ophthalmology in Africa so far as the presentation and management of orbital disease are concerned. Appropriate and timely attention could have prevented the complications in our patient.
一名患有克鲁宗病的5岁儿童出现眼球脱位和晚期眼内炎，因此不得不摘除双眼。该病例促使我们研究其家族谱系。讨论了影响临床表现模式以及眼眶疾病最终治疗的因素。提出该病例是为了强调在非洲，就眼眶疾病的表现和管理而言，眼科的不同概念。适当及时的关注本可预防我们患者的并发症。
