Orbital Emphysema Secondary to Frontal Osteoma

Repeated bouts of nose blowing can at times lead to orbital emphysema due to stress fracture in the medial or the inferior wall of the orbit. Very rarely, this can result from paranasal sinus osteoma rendering the orbital wall weak. We report only the fifth case of literature to have such an association. Also, we managed our case non-surgically, as against the previous reports treated surgically. In discussion, we highlight the nuances related to principles of management, including the role of computed tomography, and surgical intervention.
