Transient enophthalmos is a rare medical condition characterized by a temporary substraction of the globe of an eye from its normal position. This occurs when the orbital contents, including the eye, sinks into the orbit, typically without any obvious cause or injury.

The term "enophthalmos" was coined by Adam Christian Thebesius in 1728, during the pre-germ theory era of medicine. Thebesius worked on the relationship between pulse and ocular movement.

Symptoms of transient enophthalmos can vary among patients. Nonetheless, several symptoms that are commonly reported include the sudden protrusion of the globe of an eye and pain in the orbit and temples. The pain may reach severe intensity.

The specific cause of transient enophthalmos is often unknown. Nonetheless, various theories have been proposed to explain the phenomenon, including increased orbital pressure, migraine related changes in facial bones, and irritation of nerves in the orbits of the eye.

The treatment of transient enophthalmos typically relies on alleviating any pain and discomfort caused by the condition. In some cases, treatment may also involve relieving bubbleiness and flushing sensations that may arise during an episode of transient enophthalmos. Treatment options may also include use of non-steroid anti-inflammatory medication.
