BACKGROUND: @entity1781 ( @entity1781 ) represents a rare but devastating complication of closed @entity542 . No accepted guidelines are available for medical and surgical management algorithms. A systematic review of the literature was performed to determine the optimal timing and candidacy for endoscopic surgical intervention. METHODS: A systematic review of multiple databases was performed including Medline-Ovid, EMBASE, and PubMed. Data was extracted and @entity1 stratified based on surgical delay from @entity130 ( <=3 days, >3 days,  <=7 days, or >7 days) as well as preoperative and postoperative vision testing (no light perception [NLP]; light perception [LP]; @entity11535 [ @entity11535 ]; or finger counting [FC] or better). RESULTS: The literature review identified 24 studies meeting inclusion criteria. In the group of @entity1 receiving surgery  <=3 days after the antecedent event, 57% (105/183) had visual improvement, whereas in the >7-days group 51% (145/283) of @entity1 improved. In those with NLP preoperatively, 41% (172/411) saw improvement, whereas those with LP (89%), @entity11535 (93%), or FC (85%) fared better. CONCLUSION: The literature suggests that surgical intervention for @entity1781 is indicated despite delayed presentation, and is a better choice than no intervention at all. @entity1 with @entity1939 (NLP) tend to have a poorer surgical outcome.
