Abstract

A 25-year-old man was involved in a motor vehicle accident. The left globe was luxated out of orbit with total optic nerve avulsion. The globe was intact without any penetration and put back into the orbit. Although the patient has no light perception, he is grateful for satisfactory cosmetic results with 6-year follow-up.

Keywords: Luxation of globe; maxillofacial trauma; optic nerve avulsion.
