| Abstract |
PURPOSE
The superior orbital fissure syndrome is a complex of impaired function of the cranial nerves that enter the orbit through this fissure. It is a very rare disease which is characterized by ophthalomoplegia, ptosis and proptosis of the eye, reflex dilation of the pupil, and anesthesia of the upper eyelid and forehead. This syndrome may be the result of craniofacial bone fractures as well as neoplasm of the retrobulbar space, hematomas in the orbital muscle cone and retrobulbar space, and hematoma and infection of the cavernous sinus. In this case, 12 year-old boy was stung at his medial side of the right upper eyelid by fishing-rod. This patient is described with features of a superior orbital fissure syndrome. Superior orbital fissure syndrome is a very rare disease. We report a case of superior orbital fissure syndrome. METHODS: Ptosis and complete external ophthalmoplegia were found in that eye. Snellen acuity of the right eye was 20/20. Dilation of the right pupil with loss of sensation on the right upper side of eyelid and forehead was noted. Under the impression of superior orbital fissure syndrome, systemic steroid was administered orally. RESULTS: A month after trauma, the patinet had no limit of motion at extraocular muscle except upward gaze and improved ptosis. Three months after the trauma, the patient had no signs and symptoms except sluggish pupillary reflex on the right eye. |
