Thick mucosa in paranasal sinuses and relatively dilated third and lateral cerebral ventricles are seen.

Case Discussion

The case illustrates the typical non-contrast MDCT features of ocular globe rupture and vitreous body hemorrhage. The ocular globe rupture with vitreous body hemorrhage has a worse prognosis.
