Orbital Emphysema

Abstract
Twenty cases of orbital emphysema are described and the principal radiological and clinicalfindings reviewed. The two principal causes of this condition were: fractures of the medial wall of the orbit involving the ethmoid cells, or blow-out fractures through the floor of the orbit into the maxillary antrum. The mechanism of these injuries, their radiological demonstration and the indications for surgical treatment are discussed.
