Ecchymosis of the Lids

Ecchymosis of the Lids
Severe ecchymosis of right upper and lower lids with associated subconjunctival hemorhage (here not well visible) after traffic accident. The lack of protusion of the globe speaks for a hemorrhage anterior to the septum. Multiple abrasion wounds on his nose, forehead and cheek. Occult globe injury and orbital wall fracture must be excluded.
