Intraparenchymal edema being secondary to trauma

Posttraumatic hemorrhage in the frontal sinus and in ethmoid cellules

Appearance during the first examination. Unsuccessful abduction of the left eye during attempted left gaze

Ten days steroid treatment, improvement of the left lateral rectus palsy

After systemic steroid treatment, complete improvement of the left lateral rectus palsy was observed 4 weeks later

The most common complication is the herniation of the periorbital adipose tissue into the maxillary sinus, however, whether inferior rectus muscle is displaced within the maxillary sinus, should be particularly examined in this level. These radiological findings were not found in our case
