The game of Kabaddi requires offensive and defensive skills that include consideration of the raid, taking cant and entry, tracing the path, footwork, attacking tactics, and returning back which makes the players prone to many types of sports-related injuries. It being a contact game many body parts are prone to injuries in which isolated orbital fractures are uncommon. Orbital emphysema is a clinical situation in which air gets trapped in the orbital adnexa. This happens invariably secondary to orbital blunt trauma where there is a breach of lamina papyracea which is well documented but has not merited much attention.
