Lateral Canthotomy

A young woman displayed a dilated and fixed pupil following a motor vehicle collision with blunt force trauma to face. This was associated with drastically elevated intraocular pressure and proptosis. It was believed that a retrobulbar bleed was causing ocular compartment syndrome, an ischemic condition whereby elevated pressure within the orbit occludes blood flow to the retina and ocular nerves. This is a rare ocular emergency, and must be promptly treated to prevent permanent damage. Ophthalmology was consulted by telephone to confirm the diagnosis and direct treatment. A lateral canthotomy and cantholysis was performed under guidance from Ophthalmology and free open access medical education resources. The trauma team managed to save the eye, with visual acuity remaining near normal. In this report, the mechanism of orbital compartment syndrome is explained, and the lateral canthotomy and cantholysis procedure is outlined. This case highlights the importance of telephone consultation and easily accessible medical education resources in the acute care of rare conditions that may arise following trauma.

This paper is an exploratory approach to creating stimulating medical education resources in the form of interactive conversational learning between health professionals who present topics related to their practice either in the form of a case uncertainty or a general uncertainty around treatment decisions. Through these conversations, health professionals discover newer insights into the topic being discussed and learn actively along with an online group of health professionals who guide each other contextually through the discussion. doc2doc, BMJ Group’s global clinical online community, presents a unique platform for the above described activity. In this illustrative example, the authors look at the topic of ‘rational usage of medicines’ in diabetes.
