I am in search of an eye surgeon/specialist who can help me with a
patient to recover his vision. This incident happened 2 days ago.

The details of the reports are attaced below.

The patient is currenly at Concord Hopital, Sydney, NSW, Australia.
According to the eye surgeon treating the patient, the patient has very
little time before a decision to remove the eye is made. I would
appreciate anyone who can provide any assistance or who can put me in
touch with an eye surgeon who can operate on the patient to recover his
vision.

You can email me on c734915@vcrpbit1.telstra.com.au

Or please call me (Rahu) on +61-3-9299-6022

or my wife (Rathika) on +61-412-138-854

or Ravi on +61-3-9818-3423.

Any assistance will be greately appreciated.

Please call or email me, I won't be reading the news groups.

Thanks,
Rahu

=================== REPORTS ================================

History:  Direct hit to left eye by cricket ball falling
	  GCS S Traumatic hyphema and proptosis left eye

Reason:   Entrapment of lateral rectus M


C.T:
====
The patient was unable to extend his neck for direct cornonal imaging
and only

axial images were obtained.

Views of the brain show no abnormality, specifically no intracranial
haematoma.

The left globe is expanded and irregular in outline. Its normal fluid
density is

entirely replace by heterogeneous high-density material suggested blood
clot. The

lens is in a reasonably normal position. The globe is proptosed with
normal

stranding in a the fat of the orbit which is continuous with the globe
and

presumably represents further haematoma. The optic nerve appears
unremarkable.

Bone windows show a small blow-out fracture of the medial wall of the
left orbit.

There is equivocal irregularity of the inferior orbital margin without
definite

fracture. There is no evidence of entrapment of the medical rectus in
the medical

wall fracture and no lateral wall fracture is demonstrated.

CONCLUSION: Intra-occular haematoma and appearances suggesting rupture
of the globe

with associated proptosis and medial orbital wall fracture.

FACIAL BONES:
=============
Only an AP and lateral view have been submitted and these show no nony
abnormality.

LEFT EYE/ORBIT
==============
No plain x-rays specifically of the left orbit have been submitted.
