Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Emergency Medicine
  • Trauma Care

Background:

  • Globe luxation, an anterior dislocation of the eyeball, presents infrequently in emergency medicine settings.
  • Understanding the diverse etiologies of globe luxation is essential for emergency physicians.

Observation:

  • This report details a case of spontaneous globe luxation.
  • The case serves as a basis for discussing the condition's pathophysiology and management.

Findings:

  • Effective management hinges on comprehending the pathophysiology of luxation.
  • Timely and appropriate reduction techniques are key to successful treatment.

Implications:

  • Proper evaluation, treatment, and follow-up can minimize patient discomfort and recurrence.
  • Appropriate intervention may prevent long-term visual impairment associated with globe luxation.
