Timing of surgery in traumatic globe dislocation.
Indian Journal of Ophthalmology 2017 August
Traumatic globe dislocation into the maxillary sinus is a rare event and usually associated with a poor visual outcome if not managed appropriately. We report a 45-year-old female patient who presented to the emergency after blunt injury to her face with a door. Initial evaluation revealed nil perception of light and an apparently anophthalmic socket. Neuroimaging revealed large floor and medial wall fracture with dislocation of the globe into the maxillary sinus. The patient underwent exploration with repositioning of the globe and fracture repair. She was also administered 1 g intravenous methylprednisolone along with tapering course of oral steroids for 3 days. Patient's final visual acuity at 18 months of follow-up improved to counting fingers at 1 m. A thorough review of the literature suggests immediate surgery might improve the final visual outcome in such cases.
