Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Plastic Surgery
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Posttraumatic enophthalmos is an acquired deformity of the bony orbit.
  • It results from orbital fractures, often caused by blunt or penetrating trauma.
  • This condition can lead to significant cosmetic and functional deficits.

Observation:

  • Presents two case reports detailing patients with posttraumatic enophthalmos.
  • Highlights the importance of thorough clinical and radiological assessment.
  • Discusses the pathophysiology and incidence of this orbital deformity.

Findings:

  • Enophthalmos involves the backward displacement of the eyeball within the orbit.
  • Common causes include orbital floor or wall fractures.
  • Visual dysfunction can arise from altered ocular motility or globe position.

Implications:

  • Early and accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective management.
  • Treatment strategies aim to restore orbital volume and ocular alignment.
  • Addressing posttraumatic enophthalmos can improve both cosmetic appearance and visual function.
