title: [A woman with periorbital swelling].
abstract: A 43-year-old woman consulted the otolaryngologist. She had swollen eyelids and crepitus around the left eye. A CT-scan revealed a defect of the orbital lamina of the ethmoid bone ('lamina papyracea'), and an air accumulation in the left orbital cavity. The diagnosis 'subcutaneous emphysema of the eyelids and emphysema of the left orbit' was made.
