要約 目的:眼窩骨折整復術の2年後に,骨折部を介して副鼻腔炎が眼窩に進展したと考えられた1例を経験したので報告する。
症例:38歳,男性。2年前に左眼窩壁骨折に対して骨折整復術を施行していた。左眼の痛みと眼周囲の腫脹を主訴に近医眼科を受診し,福島県立医科大学附属病院へ紹介され受診した。
所見:CTで左眼球下方の軟部陰影濃度上昇,左上顎洞,篩骨洞,前頭洞内に軟部陰影を認め,副鼻腔の感染が眼窩に進展した可能性を考えた。同日,副鼻腔開放術および吸収性人工骨プレート周辺の排膿切開術,抗菌薬投与を施行して改善を得られた。
結論:眼窩壁骨折の既往がある患者では,副鼻腔炎発症後の眼窩内感染波及の可能性を常に考慮するべきであり,眼窩蜂窩織炎の可能性がある場合は早期に評価し,適切な治療を行うことが重要である。
Abstract Purpose:To report a case in which sinusitis was thought to have developed into the orbit via the fracture site 2 years after orbital fracture repair.
Case:A 38-year-old male patient had undergone fracture repair for a left orbital wall fracture 2 years earlier. He was referred to our clinic after a visit to his local ophthalmologist with complaints of left eye pain and periocular swelling.
Findings:CT scan showed an increased density of soft tissue in the lower left eyeball and soft tissue in the left maxillary sinus, ethmoidal sinus, and frontal sinus, which suggested the possibility that the sinus infection had spread to the orbit. On the same day, we performed a sinus release and drainage incision around the absorbable artificial bone plate and administered antibiotics, which resulted in improvement.
Conclusions:In patients with a history of orbital wall fracture, the possibility of intraorbital infection spillover after the onset of sinusitis should always be considered, and early evaluation and appropriate treatment for possible orbital cellulitis is important.
