Heterotopic ossification (HO) of facial sinuses is very rare. In this article, we present an extensive HO case covering the right frontal sinus, superior ethmoidal cells, and upper orbital rim and roof. This mass was leading to a hypoglobus and upward-gaze deficit due to mass effect. With an upper eyelid incision, mass over the upper orbital rim and roof was excised by an osteotome. Histopathologic examination was compatible with HO. On the postoperative 18-month follow-up, hypoglobus and upward-gaze deficit have significantly regressed. There were no relapses or enlargement over the operative field or the primary mass seen on computed tomography scans.

Orbital emphysema commonly resolves with no morbidity. However, sight-threatening complications, such as central retinal artery occlusion and ischemic optic neuropathy, may occur, which can result in poor visual outcomes. Plain skull X-ray, which is widely available, is a useful tool in identifying orbital emphysema.

Orbital injuries warranting surgical intervention are infrequent in the paediatric population, but 'blowout, trap door' fractures are unique in children and may constitute a relative surgical emergency. A retrospective review of isolated orbital floor fractures at the Royal Children's Hospital of Melbourne over a 10-year period was undertaken to evaluate the outcome of those patients who required surgical exploration. Twenty-two patients with documented isolated orbital floor injuries were studied.
