Case Reports[Traumatic dislocation of the globe into the maxillary sinus--is a rehabilitation possible?].
The complete traumatic dislocation of the globe into the maxillary sinus after orbital floor fractures is a very rare event. It results from direct transmission of a traumatic force which impinges the orbital frame or may result from an increasing pressure to the orbital contents. Diplopia or evidence of a displaced globe necessitates an exploration and reconstruction of the orbital floor. ⋯ This case of complete dislocation of the globe into the maxillary sinus demonstrates that only few injuries may result and that after operative reconstruction of the orbital floor a good functional result can achieved.
