Enophthalmos
Enophthalmos is a posterior displacement of the eyeball within the orbit. It is due to either enlargement of the bony orbit and/or reduction of the orbital content, this in relation to each other.It should not be confused with its opposite, exophthalmos, which is the anterior displacement of the eye.
It may be a congenital anomaly, or be acquired as a result of trauma (such as in a blowout fracture of the orbit), Horners syndrome (apparent enophthalmos due to ptosis), Marfan syndrome, Duanes syndrome, silent sinus syndrome or phthisis bulbi.
