  • [ 4 , 5 ] Other potential causes for enophthalmos include age-related fat atrophy or HIV-related lipodystrophy, although these usually present with bilaterally symmetric enophthalmos. (medscape.com)
  • Most causes of enophthalmos are treatable, and surgical correction is most frequently excellent following outpatient surgery. (medscape.com)
  • Primary enophthalmos indicates a congenital or developmental etiology. (medscape.com)
  • Enophthalmos assessment using radiologic evaluation provides increased accuracy and reproducibility compared with clinical measurement using an exophthalmometer. (univ-lille.fr)
  • Alternatively, scarring contracture of the orbital fat and extraocular muscles may decrease soft tissue volume, making the orbital cavity less full and causing enophthalmos. (medscape.com)
  • Perhaps the single most important advice to give a patient until the workup of suspected new-onset enophthalmos has been completed is not to blow their nose and to sneeze with their mouth open. (medscape.com)
