N2  - A 27-year-old man suffered simultaneous avulsion of the optic nerve and luxation of an intact globe in a motor vehicle accident. CT was not diagnostic of the nerve avulsion. The injury was addressed by emergent replacement of the globe within the orbit. The patient obtained psychological benefit by retaining the eye initially, but required subsequent enucleation for prolonged ocular inflammation. Initial repositioning of intact, luxated globes offers potential cosmetic and psychological benefits. If necessary, enucleation can be performed later.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
