  Fig. 1 (A) Photograph showing right proptosis with marked lid swelling. Conjunctiva shows severe chemosis and necrotic change; (B,C) computerized tomography scan of the orbit. Right globe with irregular contour shows nasal superior, posterior scleral breakthrough (red arrow), suggesting a ruptured globe. (D) Photograph showing right proptosis. Conjunctiva shows severe chemosis and conjunctival hemorrhage; (E,F) magnetic resonance imaging scans with contrast enhancement showing proptosis and anteroposterior elongation of the right globe with an irregular contour. A defect at the superolateral aspect (red arrow) is visible.
