Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Orbital floor fractures are usually the result of mechanical trauma. Orbital emphysema tends to develop in fractures affecting the paranasal sinuses and walls of the orbit. CLINICAL CASE: We report the case of a 35-year-old male who suffered an orbital floor fracture with associated orbital emphysema as a result of nose blowing. DISCUSSION: Only one other similar case has been found in the literature.Entities:
