An orbital observation chart

J P Hayter et al. Br J Oral Maxillofac Surg. 1991 Apr.

Abstract

Retrobulbar haemorrhage is a rare complication of trauma or surgery involving the orbit or periorbital region. Permanent blindness may result if early diagnosis is not made and treatment carried out. A simple scheme of orbital observations to aid early diagnosis of this complication and other sequelae of orbital trauma and surgery has been used at St Lawrence Hospital since 1983.
