RESUMO
Craniomaxillofacial trauma is primarily diagnosed and managed by oral and maxillofacial surgeons. Among the cases encountered, midface fractures involving orbital walls are highly prevalent. In these fractures, involvement of the orbital walls, particularly floor of the orbit, can lead to considerable aesthetic and functional limitations. From a maxillofacial perspective, indications for surgical repair of orbital floor encompass marked decrease in ocular motility, fracture affecting more than 50% of surface area, an increase in orbital volume exceeding 18% and enophthalmos greater than 2 mm. In the absence of these discernible signs, surgical intervention is not generally indicated. However, in this case, an early adolescent with a history of midface trauma and minimal orbital floor fracture 8 months earlier presented with progressively delayed onset enophthalmos and hypoglobus closely resembling features of silent sinus syndrome. The enophthalmos and hypoglobus were corrected by placing custom-made non-resorbable high-density polyethylene implant in the orbital floor. Postoperative follow-up demonstrated aesthetically and functionally satisfactory outcomes.

PURPOSE: To report a case of multifocal chorioretinitis with serous macular detachment in diffuse unilateral subacute neuroretinitis (DUSN) and its diagnostic dilemma. DESIGN: Case report. METHOD: A 43-year-old woman presented with painless diminution of vision of right eye for 1 week. Dilated fundoscopy showed mild disc edema, multiple deep grey-white retinitis lesions in posterior pole with mild vitritis. Optical coherence tomography revealed serous macular detachment. Fundus fluorescein angiography was suggestive of active retinitis. Comprehensive workup was unremarkable. Six days later, a live subretinal worm was noticed in inferotemporal retina. A diagnosis of DUSN was made and treated with laser photocoagulation followed by antihelminthic therapy. One month later, patients vision improved and chorioretinal lesions also healed. CONCLUSION: This report presents a unique scenario of serous macular detachment in DUSN in addition to commonly seen multifocal deep retinitis lesions. Prompt treatment with laser, antihelminthic agent can prevent irreversible vision loss.
