Globe tenting as a result of head trauma

CJ Hrach and DJ Quint
Department of Radiology, University of Michigan Hospitals, Ann Arbor 48109, USA.

Ocular tenting in the setting of acute trauma, inflammatory processes, or carotid cavernous fistulas is reported to be associated with a poor outcome with respect to visual acuity. Therefore, acute decompressive intervention is recommended for these patients. We report a case of acute posttraumatic ocular tenting with acute visual compromise that resolved over 4 days with conservative management and intravenous corticosteroid therapy.
