Amaç: Çalışmamızda, orbita travmalarına bağlı görülen orbital amfizem (OA) olgularının klinik seyrini ve tedavi ihtiyaçlarını değerlendirmeyi amaçladık.

Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu retrospektif çalışmaya 2016-2019 yılları arasında hastanemiz acil servisine başvuran 82 hastanın 112 orbitası dahil edildi. Hastalarımızın ortak özelliği farklı nedenlerle ciddi yüz ve orbita travması yaşamış olmalarıydı. Glob veya orbita yaralanması ön tanısı ile göz hastalıklarına konsülte edilmiş bu hastaların orbita bilgisayarlı tomografileri (BT) OA yönünden değerlendirildi. Orbital havanın yerleşim yerine göre, preseptal, ekstrakonal, intrakonal ve intraoküler olarak sınıflandırıldı.

Bulgular: Çalışmaya dahil edilen 82 hastanın 65’i erkek, 17 tanesi ise kadındı. Hastaların genel yaş ortalaması 37,85 (3-78) idi. Cinsiyete göre bakıldığında erkek hastaların yaş ortalaması 36,09 (3-78), kadın hastaların yaş ortalaması ise 44,58 (15-78) olarak bulundu. 112 orbitanın 80 tanesinde preseptal sahada amfizem saptandı. Orbital havanın yerleşimi 80 gözde preseptal, 26 gözde ekstrakonal, 5 gözde intrakonal, 1 gözde ise intraokülerdi. Hiçbir hastamızda orbital kompartman sendromu tespit edilmedi.

Sonuç: Orbital amfizem orbita travmalarında sık karşılaşılan bir durumdur. Orbital kompartman sendromu ile ilişkili olabilir. Travma sonrası izlenen orbital amfizem genellikle iyi huylu kendini sınırlayan bir durumdur.

Clinical and radiological features of traumatic orbital emphysema cases

Aim: In this study, we aimed to evaluate the clinical course and treatment requirements of orbital emphysema cases resulting from orbital trauma.

Material and Method: We included the 112 orbits of 82 patients who had presented to the emergency service of our hospital between 2016 and 2019 in this retrospective study. The common feature was severe orbital trauma due to various causes and referrals to the ophthalmology department with a preliminary diagnosis of ocular or orbital damage. The orbital computerized tomography images were evaluated for orbital emphysema and a classification was performed according to the location of the air as preseptal, extraconal, intraconal and intraocular. 

Results: We included a total of 82 subjects consisting of 65 males and 17 females in the study. The mean age was 37.85 (3-78) years in general, 36.09 (3-78) years in the males, and 44.58 (15-78) years in the females. Emphysema was present in the preseptal area in 80 cases, the extraconal area in 26, and the intraconal area in 5 of the 112 orbits. Intraocular emphysema was detected in only a single case. The orbital compartment syndrome was not present in any of our cases.

Conclusion: Orbital emphysema is a common condition in orbital trauma. It may be associated with the orbital compartment syndrome. Orbital emphysema after orbital trauma is usually a benign, self-limiting condition.
