Enophthalmos refers to the condition in which the eyeball is recessed into the orbit. This phenomenon occurs due to a change in the position of the eyeball relative to the surrounding structures of the orbit. The pathophysiology of enophthalmos is complex and can be caused by different etiologies.

Neurosurgical Relevance
A classic neurosurgical example of a condition where enophthalmos can be observed is Horner's syndrome[^1]. However, the enophthalmos in Horner's syndrome is usually only mildly pronounced and often clinically difficult to detect.
