fascial entrapment in blow-out fracture

blow out fracture is a common disease in oculoplastics clinics. one of indication for surgical intervention is entrapment of inferior rectus muscle in the fractured site. in this article authors represent two cases with this disease who underwent surgery for the entrapment of perimuscular fascia without inferior rectus muscle involvement. the results of treatment in both cases were excellent. t...

Computed tomography of blow-out fracture of the medial orbital wall.

Computed tomographic (CT) findings in four patients with isolated blow-out fracture of the medial orbital wall are reported. CT delineated the fracture site and its extent in each case, and clearly demonstrated medial rectus muscle entrapement in two. This was confirmed by surgery. CT was found superior to poly tomography and proved to be the best radiologic means for the diagnosis of medial or...

Role of medial orbital wall morphologic properties in orbital blow-out fractures.

PURPOSE This study compares medial orbital wall supporting structures in patients with isolated inferior and medial wall fractures. METHODS The morphologic properties in all consecutive patients with periocular trauma who underwent orbital computed tomography (CT) scans from January 2004 to March 2006 were reviewed. On CT scans, the size of the fracture, the number of ethmoid air cell septa, ...
