Abstract

A 32-year-old male patient was admitted to the emergency department with complaints of swelling and pain on the right palpebra. He had no history of trauma, sinusitis, or surgery. On examination, the visual field was decreased in the right eye. On the lower palpebra, there was an emphysematous swelling, which was crepitated by palpation. An ophthalmology consultation was requested, antibiotic treatment was given and subcutaneous emphysema was drained with insulin injector tip. The patient was discharged with the recommendation of avoiding maneuvers that could increase the intranasal air pressure.

Özet

32 yaşındaki erkek hasta, hapşırma esnasında ağzını kapatması sonucu sağ göz kapağında şişlik ve ağrı şikâyeti ile acil servise başvurdu. Geçirilmiş travma, sinüzit veya cerrahi öyküsü yoktu. Muayenesinde sağ gözde, görme alanı azalmıştı. Alt göz kapağında palpasyon ile krepitasyon veren amfizematöz şişlik vardı. Göz hastalıkları konsültasyonu istendi, antibiyotik tedavisi verildi, insülin enjektör ucu ile subkütan amfizem drene edildi. Rahatlayan hastaya, intranazal hava basıncını arttırabilecek manevralardan kaçınması önerilerek taburcu edildi.
