Summary

Globe luxation, an eye emergency, can result from minor trauma and may involve conjunctival lacerations. Surgical exploration is crucial for managing globe luxation and removing foreign bodies like eyelashes.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Trauma Surgery

Background:

  • Globe luxation is an uncommon ophthalmic emergency where the eyeball displaces forward.
  • It often results from significant blunt or penetrating eye trauma.

Observation:

  • This case details globe luxation following relatively slight trauma.
  • The luxation was associated with conjunctival laceration.
  • Eyelashes were found and removed during surgical exploration.

Findings:

  • Successful repositioning of the globe was achieved in the emergency room.
  • Surgical exploration revealed and removed foreign material (eyelashes) from the conjunctival fornices.
  • The management involved addressing both the luxation and associated injuries.

Implications:

  • This case highlights that globe luxation can occur with seemingly minor trauma.
  • Emphasizes the critical role of prompt repositioning and thorough surgical exploration in managing globe luxation.
  • Underscores the importance of identifying and removing all foreign material, such as eyelashes, to prevent complications.
