Motor vehicle accidents can cause severe eye injuries like globe subluxation. Prompt surgical repositioning of the eyes preserved ocular integrity, aiding patient coping with vision loss.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Trauma Surgery
  • Emergency Medicine

Background:

  • Motor vehicle accidents (MVAs) are a significant cause of traumatic injuries.
  • Orbital and ocular trauma can lead to severe visual impairment or loss.
  • Prompt management is crucial for preserving ocular function and patient well-being.

Observation:

  • A 41-year-old female sustained bilateral anterior globe subluxation following an MVA.
  • Initial examination revealed no light perception (NLP) in both eyes (OU).
  • CT scans identified extensive facial fractures, indicating severe craniofacial trauma.

Findings:

  • The globes, though subluxated, remained intact.
  • Surgical intervention involved gentle reduction of the globes back into the orbits.

  • Post-operatively, vision was not restored, but ocular integrity was maintained.

    • Implications:

    • Preservation of globe integrity and anatomical position is vital in severe facial trauma.
    • Even with irreversible vision loss, maintaining ocular structure can significantly reduce psychological distress.
    • This case highlights the importance of prompt ophthalmological and surgical assessment in high-energy facial trauma.
