This article provides a protocol and an accompanying video for the retrobulbar sinus injection of up to a total volume of 150 µL for postnatal, juvenile, and runted adult mice. This procedure is particularly well suited for the injection of small mice (15 g) when tail vein injection is not feasible.

Here, we describe the induction of experimental nephrotic syndrome in 129S1/SvImJ mice by rapid retrobulbar injection of doxorubicin. We also treat nephrotic mice with sustained release pellets containing aprotinin to inhibit urinary serine protease activity and prevent sodium retention.

Source: James W Bonz, MD, Emergency Medicine, Yale School of Medicine, New Haven, Connecticut, USA Lateral canthotomy is a potentially eyesight-saving procedure when performed emergently for an orbital compartment syndrome. An orbital compartment syndrome results from a buildup of pressure behind the eye; as pressure mounts, both the optic nerve and its vascular supply are compressed, rapidly leading to nerve damage and blindness if the pressure is not quickly relieved. The medial and lateral...

This video demonstrates the induction of intestinal graft-versus-host disease, GvHD, in a lethally-irradiated recipient mouse using allogeneic hematopoietic stem cells and GvHD-inducing splenic alloreactive T lymphocytes. This protocol helps establish a severe acute intestinal GvHD model to understand the mechanism of the disease and develop innovative therapeutic options.
FAQs
Vision loss can develop through two linked pressure effects: compression of the optic nerve and reduced retinal circulation. As blood accumulates in the confined orbit, pressure rises and interferes with both neural signaling and the blood supply needed for vision. This explains why delayed recognition can lead to permanent optic nerve injury rather than only temporary discomfort.
Increasing blood volume behind the eye raises pressure within the orbit and displaces the globe forward, producing proptosis. The same pressure can interfere with normal movement of the eye, causing restricted motility. These mechanical findings are clinically important because they accompany the underlying orbital pressure increase and may signal progression toward visual or optic nerve compromise.
Facial trauma, orbital or ocular surgery, and anticoagulant use are important clinical settings. Trauma or surgery can initiate bleeding around the eye, while anticoagulant use can favor continued or more substantial bleeding. Recognizing these contexts helps clinicians maintain concern for a retrobulbar hematoma when pain, proptosis, restricted movement, or visual changes appear afterward.
Lateral canthotomy and cantholysis are used to provide urgent orbital pressure relief when accumulated blood threatens vision. By reducing pressure around the eye, the intervention aims to lessen compression of the optic nerve and improve retinal circulation. Its clinical purpose is rapid preservation of visual function and reduction of the risk of permanent optic nerve injury.
Urgent intervention becomes important when the clinical picture suggests that rising orbital pressure is affecting vision or threatening the optic nerve. Visual loss, pain, proptosis, and restricted eye movement are relevant warning findings, particularly after trauma or surgery. Prompt assessment matters because prolonged pressure can compromise retinal circulation and produce permanent injury.
The condition is relevant wherever bleeding may occur behind the eye, especially after facial trauma or orbital and ocular procedures. In these settings, clinicians must connect new orbital symptoms with a possible pressure-related emergency rather than treating discomfort in isolation. Early recognition supports timely pressure relief and may improve the chance of preserving vision.
