“…It frequently occurs after a high-energy trauma to the orbito-facial area, mostly due to traffic accidents. [1,2] Because traumatic globe luxation can lead to vision loss in some cases, it is an important condition in emergency rooms. [3] Hence, all physicians, particularly those working at emergency units, should be familiar with this condition and its management to be able to prevent organ-threatening complications, such as vision loss.…”

Traumatic globe luxation is a rare condition in pediatric emergency medicine and can cause vision loss in some cases. Therefore, it is considered a critical condition in emergency rooms, and all physicians, particularly those working in emergency units, should be familiar with this condition and its management to be able to prevent organ-threatening complications, such as vision loss. This study reports the case of an 8-year-old girl with traumatic globe luxation due to falling from her bicycle. Her visual acuity (VA) decreased light perception. The condition was promptly managed with urgent lateral canthotomy and inferior cantholysis. At the one-month post-trauma follow-up, VA was 20/20 on the Snellen chart; no limitations in eye movement in any position of gaze were noted.

“…Isolated anterior luxation of eye ball without optic nerve avulsion occurs when a blunt wedge insinuates between the supero medial orbit and the eye ball, causing the eye to ‘pop’ out and the eyelids to squeeze shut behind the globe. These objects are encountered in daily life like as bike handle, 7 gift wrapping tube, 8 door handle, etc 9 . The second mechanism is a coup- contre coup injury which is commonly associated with craniofacial trauma.…”

Craniofacial trauma is often associated with orbital and ocular injuries. We report a case of a 21-year-old male with motor vehicular accident, orbital roof blow-in fracture, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak, and left sided globe luxation with corneal abrasion and complete conjunctival denuding. The patient was managed by a multispeciality team and the eyeball was protected by amniotic membrane graft (AMG) biological dressing with novel use of inverted sterile metallic bowl as mechanical protection till the patient stabilized. During surgery, eyeball was reposited and ocular surface was reconstructed using amniotic membrane and symblepharon ring. Surgical correction and plating of the facial fractures and dural repair with autologus tensor fascia lata was done. Post surgery ocular surface was intact, ocular motility was well preserved and the globe was prephthisical. Traumatic eyeball luxation is a rare, but dramatic presentation which may occur in a blow in fracture when the intra orbital volume reduces and expels the eye ball out of the socket. This may be associated with extra ocular muscle rupture or optic nerve avulsion. The visual prognosis is nil in majority cases. However, the management is targeted towards globe preservation in view of psychological benefit and ease of cosmetic or prosthetic rehabilitation. Knowing the mechanism of luxation helps to plan the management. A stepwise approach for globe salvage is recommended. Team efforts to take care of various morbidities with special steps to safeguard the eye help to optimize outcomes.

We report a case of complete dislocation of the globe into the maxillary sinus, with immediate repositioning of the globe. This report highlights the importance of early surgical repair of orbital fracture and globe repositioning to regain the maximum amount of ocular functions. A review of literature found 19 cases of globe dislocation into the maxillary sinus: One case was enucleated 2 months after misdiagnosis as traumatic enucleation, six cases were documented no vision or no light perception, three cases did not have reported vision (patients did not survive), and nine cases with postoperative vision. We recommend early surgical intervention to restore the cosmetic and visual function of the dislocated eye.
