Fabricius Hildanus mentions a similar instance.
Salmuth, Verduc, and others mention extrusion of the eyeball from
the socket, due to excessive coughing. Ab Heers and Sennert
mention instances in which after replacement the sight was
uninjured. Tyler relates the case of a man who, after arising in
the morning, blew his nose violently, and to his horror his left
eye extruded from the orbit. With the assistance of his wife it
was immediately replaced and a bandage placed over it. When Tyler
saw him the upper lid was slightly swollen and discolored, but
there was no hemorrhage.
Hutchinson describes extrusion of the eyeball from the orbit
caused by a thrust with a stick. There was paraphymotic
strangulation of the globe, entirely preventing replacement and
necessitating excision. Reyssie speaks of a patient who, during a
fire, was struck in the right eye by a stream of water from a
hose, violently thrusting the eye backward. Contracting under the
double influence of shock and cold, the surrounding tissues
forced the eyeball from the orbit, and an hour later Reyssie saw
the patient with the eye hanging by the optic nerve and muscles.
Its reduction was easy, and after some minor treatment vision was
perfectly restored in the injured organ.
