Özet
We report a case who developed unilateral orbital emphysema after sneezing in a 30-year-old man presented with left crepitant eyelid swelling and progressive ptosis. Sneezing may cause orbital emphysema in cases with a history of minor periorbital trauma. While periodical follow-up without any medication is considered satisfactory, needle decompression may provide early cure.
