摘要：

Introduction: Orbital emphysema is a recognised complication of fractures of the orbit and only rarely poses a threat to vision. Patients and methods: We present three patients with threatened vision secondary to orbital emphysema that required an immediate surgical decompression. Results: Visual function was preserved in all three patients. Conclusion: Clinical awareness of pneumo-orbitism is vital as immediate orbital decompression may be necessary to preserve visual function.
