Scleral bulge!!!
50 yr old male reffered to our ICU with LOC since 1 week.pt has improved since then.my worry is about sclerea bulge since 2 days.what could be the reason for it!!!
My eyes do this!!!!! I told my eye doctor about it and she didn't believe me, she asked me to come in and see her the next time it happened. I went in and it totally freaked her out, she had never seen it before. For me it is a severe allergic reaction. When someone is cutting down a large field of various weeds this happens to me. I have prescription allergy eyedrops and it resolves quickly.
Is it due to increased INTRA cranial pressure I m not sure ,but I have seen it in few other patients with similar presentation.
My thought is that he would have had contact lenses in which damaged his eye in head trauma. Could it be cellulitis?
True ,we have asked for ophthalmologist opinion,I will update accordingly friends.
The sign is chemosis. And its due to abnormal permeability of the artry and veins. Could be followed by low albumin level. Could be volume overload. And it could be due to the eyes that are open for a while.without blinking. At last i didnt see any patient that went this so far and survived. đđ
