Management of orbital disorders is a challenging job
Journal Title: IP International Journal of Ocular Oncology and Oculoplasty - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Management of orbital disorders is a great challenge for any one. Orbit is the only cavity having small size with wide diversity of disorders. The presence of complex, multiple anatomical structures arisen from all three embryonic germ layers is responsible for highly diversified clinical presentation thus making differential diagnosis quite difficult. Orbit is very small in volume (30cc) and enclosed space (posteriorly by four bony walls and anteriorly by Orbital septum) with much less capacity to adjust anatomical and physiological alterations following orbital trauma and space occupying lesions resulting in comportment syndrome. Orbital comportment syndrome is a true ocular emergency need immediate identification and intervention to be avoided for permanent visual loss
