Enophthalmos

a positioning of the eyeball in the orbit more to the rear than is normal. The most frequent cause is a severe trauma accompanied by fracture of the orbit walls and subsequent atrophy of the soft tissues. Enophthalmos is sometimes observed accompanying microphthalmia—a congenital condition in which the eyeball is abnormally small.

The dehydration is classified as mild (loss of fluids between 6 and 8% BW), moderate (between 8 and 10% BW), and severe (between 10 and 12% BW), and the evaluation is based on clinical signs, such as behavior, degree of retraction of the eyeball in the orbit (enophthalmos), and skin turgor (SMITH, 2009).

Stage I is characterized by a lateralized maxillary fontanel (membranous deformity); stage II is defined as inward bowing of one or more of the osseous walls (bone deformity); and stage III is characterized by enophthalmos, hypoglobus, and/or midfacial deformity (clinical deformity) [1, 5].

Signs of entropion include epiphora, moisture on eyelid margins and eyelids, mucopurulent discharge, blepharospasm, enophthalmos. There is increased conjunctival vascularity and signs of chronic irritation of cornea, such as edema, pannus, granulation, pigmentation and ulceration (Stades and Gelatt, 2007).
