1/3. An unusual complication of thrombolysis--bilateral retro-orbital haematomata.We present a case of bilateral retro-orbital haematomata following thrombolysis of pulmonary embolism in a severely haemodynamically compromised 29-year-old female. The haematomata developed two days post-thrombolysis with marked visual impairment. visual acuity was restored following bilateral drainage of the superior aspects of the retro-orbital space.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = haematoma (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/3. Subperiosteal orbital haematoma presenting as proptosis at birth.We present a case report of a neonate with congenital subperiosteal orbital haematoma presenting with unilateral proptosis with review of current literature. The baby made an uneventful recovery following surgical drainage of the haematoma. This is the second report of orbital haematoma presenting at birth. Orbital haematoma should be considered in the newborn with unilateral proptosis. Early detection with computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is required to determine the need for surgical drainage.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.3333333333333keywords = haematoma (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/3. Lateral canthotomy: a simple and safe procedure for orbital haemorrhage secondary to endoscopic sinus surgery.Two cases of orbital complications secondary to functional endoscopic sinus surgery are presented. One case was complicated in the immediate post-operative period with an orbital haematoma, which required urgent decompression using lateral canthotomy. The second case had presented an acute orbital haemorrhage during functional endoscopic sinus surgery, which required the same surgical procedure. These cases demonstrate that lateral canthotomy constitutes a safe and fast surgical procedure to decrease the intraorbital pressure.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.16666666666667keywords = haematoma (Clic here for more details about this article) |
