Extraocular muscles that are entrapped in orbital fracture sites require emergent surgical treatment. Muscle entrapment can present with subtle findings or mimic other conditions, contributing to delays in diagnosis. Here, we present two cases of extraocular muscle entrapment that were not immediately identified. By discussing the diagnostic challenge in these cases, we aim to increase the comfort of all physicians in identifying muscle entrapment in the emergency department.
嵌顿于眼眶骨折部位的眼外肌需要紧急手术治疗。肌肉嵌顿可能表现为细微的症状,或与其他病症相似,从而导致诊断延误。在此,我们报告两例未被立即识别的眼外肌嵌顿病例。通过讨论这些病例中的诊断难题,我们旨在提高所有医生在急诊科识别肌肉嵌顿的能力。
