[Orbital decompression by the Olivari technique].

Abstract

Orbital decompression using Olivari's method is described: extraconal fat is removed surgically from the orbit. Intraconal fat is also removed with the help of a microscope. Removal of at least 5 cc of orbital fat is necessary to reduce exophthalmos. Usually between 5 cc to 10 cc of fat are removed.

Subcutaneous emphysema secondary to pulmonary cavity in absence of pneumothorax or pneumomediastinum.

Subcutaneous emphysema is a common condition occurring after chest injury. It may also be observed in association with pneumothorax or pneumomediastinum as a result of pathological changes in the respiratory tract. Spontaneous subcutaneous emphysema in absence of pneumothorax or pneumomediastinum is rare. We report a case of spontaneous subcutaneous emphysema in isolation secondary to fibrocavitatory lesion in the chest along with review of the literature.
