In each issue, JUCM will challenge your diagnostic acumen with a glimpse of x-rays, electrocardiograms, and photographs of dermatologic conditions that real urgent care patients have presented with.
If you would like to submit a case for consideration, please email the relevant materials and presenting information to [email protected].
The patient is a 16-year-old boy who presents with local swelling of both eyelids. There is no limitation in the range of motion of either eye, however.
The patient reports that the swelling occurred immediately after he blew his nose.
View the image taken (Figure 1) and consider what your diagnosis and next steps would be.
Resolution of the case is described on the next page.
