Retrobulbar bleeding, also known as retrobulbar hemorrhage, is when bleeding occurs behind the eye. Symptoms may include pain, bruising around the eye, the eye bulging outwards, vomiting, and vision loss.Retrobulbar bleeding can occur as a result of trauma to the eye, surgery to the eye, blood thinners, or an arteriovenous malformation.In those with significant symptoms lateral canthotomy with cantholysis is indicated. This is recommended to be carried out within two hours. The condition is rare. == References ==
Antibiotics and antifungals can be used to treat the infection, but good hygiene such as keeping the area dry is essential to stop recurrence, however excessive washing with soap can cause contact dermatitis.If infection is sexually transmitted, sexual partners should be notified and treated. Posthitis and balanitis (inflammation of the glans penis) usually occur together as balanoposthitis. Circumcision can prevent balanoposthitis, though balanitis can still occur separately. == References ==
