S. Sharma et al., Management of acute surgical orbital haemorrhage: an otorhinolaryngological and ophthalmological perspective, J LARYNG OT, 114(8), 2000, pp. 621-626
This retrospective report describes the management and outcome of seven pat
ients who suffered an acute surgical orbital haemorrhage (ASOH), secondary
to a surgical procedure performed on either the sinuses, orbits or eyelids.
All patients but one recovered their pre-operative vision. A management pl
an is outlined on how to assess and tackle this complication, so that the E
NT surgeon may be better prepared to meet such an acute surgical emergency,
should it arise.
