Prior Study
Findings
Preseptal Soft tissues and Orbital Adnexa
The preseptal soft tissues including the eyelids, conjunctival sacs are swollen/edematous more on the left than the right.
There is a possibly abnormal air collection in the right conjunctival sac or eyelid; however, conjunctival sac air is typically normally seen so that this does not likely represent a radiolucent foreign body or injury tract.
There are radiodense foreign bodies in the left preseptal soft tissues and possibly the conjunctival sac.
The anterior segment of the eye is normal. However, there is intravitreous hemorrhage well below the equator and on the nasal side. There is no definite evidence of retinal or choroid injury.
The junctions of the optic sheath/nerve and eye are normal and the optic sheath/nerve has a normal appearance.
Orbits
The postseptal extraconal and intraconal orbital compartments are normal. The extraocular muscles, orbital apex and superior orbital fissure appear normal. The bones of the orbit including the optic canal are normal.
Brain
There are no intra-axial or extra-axial abnormalities of the brain that might be related to the eye/orbital pathology.
Other findings
There are no other significant abnormalities present.
