文摘
A 38-year-old woman who, during a scuba dive at 7 m, suffered from eye pain, hyperaemia, and exophthalmos. She was diagnosed with ocular barotrauma with transient diplopia. She was seen in the emergency room 10 days later, with no diplopia, but mild left proptosis. In the computed tomography an image of extraconal occupation is observed in the left orbital roof. The magnetic resonance confirmed an intraorbital hematoma.
Discussion
