PHYSICAL EXAMINATION: Showed the patient to have 3+ edema and 1+ ecchymosis to the left upper and lower lids. The visual acuity and confrontation to visual acuity could not be measured, as a retrobulbar block had been delivered. Extraocular muscles could not be evaluated for the same reason. The pupil was dilated pharmacologically for the procedure. The ballottement of the globe revealed 3+ orbital pressure noted; however, the ballottement was thought to reveal a globe with a pressure of 30 to 40 mmHg. This was different than the Tono-Pen measured with the lid speculum in. It was likely that the retraction with the lid speculum increased intraocular pressure in this circumstance. With careful retraction of the upper lid and both surgeons working together, the intraocular pressure was measured at 42. A repeat measurement was 39. A repeat measurement was 37 with trending of decrease. The globe was palpated by both surgeons and agreement was that the pressure was in the range where the problem could be managed medically. The patient then received topical intravenous therapy, and lateral canthotomy and cantholysis was deferred. Was noted to have a more benign exam by the report of the vitreoretinal surgeon 1 hour following this incident.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION: The patient is bright and alert. She has a pleasant disposition. Her anterior fontanelle is soft, flat and pulsatile. There is mild right parietal swelling.

I did not appreciate any focal motor, sensory, or reflex abnormalities. Developmentally, the patient appears appropriate for age.
