Orbital Emphysema in an 8-Year-Old Patient Caused by Air Injury

Orbital emphysema is a benign and uncommon condition usually caused by a trauma-induced orbital wall fracture but in rare cases might happen after compressed air injury without orbital fracture. Here we present an 8-year-old patient with right eye swelling and redness after being exposed to explosion of an air pump compressor tube and was diagnosed with orbital emphysema.
