ABSTRACT
Blepharocele is a rare complication of skull base injury involving the orbital roof. We present a 23-year-old male who developed blepharocele due to an orbital rim fracture and basal dural tear. His vision remained intact. The lesion resolved completely after surgical repair of the basal dura.
