Traumatic "pseudoprolapse" of orbital tissues into the maxillary antrum: a diagnostic pitfall.

Orbital trauma may result in what we term "pseudoprolapse" of orbital tissues: a subperiosteal, submucosal, or intramucosal hemorrhage which creates a balloon-like elevation of periosteum or maxillary sinus mucosa or both associated with a nondisplaced fracture or in some cases no fracture of the orbital floor. This occasionally causes an erroneous radiographic diagnosis indicating a blowout fracture with prolapse of orbital tissues, resulting in unnecessary surgery.

High altitude corneal endothelial decompensation.

A 77-year-old patient with low endothelial cell counts sustained acute unilateral endothelial decompensation when he traveled to an elevation of 12,500 feet. The corneal edema gradually increased after his return to sea level, and penetrating keratoplasty was required to restore vision. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of hypoxia-induced corneal endothelial decompensation.
