Morphologic Factors Affecting the Site of Blow-Out Fracture

Orbital blow out fracture.

Blow-out fracture of the orbital floor.

Six patients with blowout fractures of the orbital floor, not associated with infraorbital rim fractures, are presented. Diplopia, infraorbital anesthesia and enophthalmos following blunt trauma to the eye should alert the examiner to the possibility of a blowout fracture with incarceration of extraocular tissues. Early roentgenographic examinations are often difficult to evaluate because of pe...

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...

Blow out fracture A Novel Management Modality

Blow out fracture of orbit involves fracture of orbital floor without fracture of infraorbital rim. This injury is common from frontal blow to orbit. Frontal blow to orbit causes increased intraorbital tension causing fracture of floor of the orbit (weak point) with prolapse of orbital content into the maxillary sinus cavity. This causes enophthalmos and diplopia. Infraorbital rim is not involv...

The predictive factors of diplopia and extraocular movement limitations in isolated pure blow-out fracture

PURPOSE To evaluate the predictive factors for development of diplopia and extraocular muscle movement (EOM) limitations in the patients with isolated pure blow-out fracture. METHODS One hundred thirty-two patients with isolated pure blow-out fracture were included. The diagnosis was done with computed tomography scan. Possible predictive factors were analyzed with logistic regression. The ca...
