Orbital emphysema is usually a benign, transient phenomenon. Rarely, the intraorbital air mass can cause central retinal artery occlusion. Because of the potential for severe visual loss, the rapid diagnosis and management of this condition are essential. Currently, there is no standard protocol for the treatment and management of severe orbital emphysema. To develop a management algorithm, the authors reviewed the records of eight patients with orbital emphysema, in addition to nine other reported patients with ocular dysfunction.
