RESUMO
Blunt trauma in the orbital region often results in fracture of 1 or more bone walls resulting in alteration of the orbital volume with the potential for visual sequelae. This study reports a rare case of displacement of the eyeball into the maxillary sinus after blunt trauma as well as its initial management, treatment, and clinical follow-up. Victims of eyeball displacement have a poor visual prognosis. Even if the patient has already been diagnosed with amaurosis on arrival to the hospital, all measures for rapid eye repositioning and reconstruction of the orbital cavity must be instituted, as well as appropriate clinical and pharmacologic management to avoid further complications.
