Orbital floor fractures are usually the result of mechanical trauma. Orbital emphysema tends to develop in fractures affecting the paranasal sinuses and walls of the orbit.

Clinical case  

We report the case of a 35-year-old male who suffered an orbital floor fracture with associated orbital emphysema as a result of nose blowing.

Discussion  

Only one other similar case has been found in the literature.
