چکیده
Orbital fractures commonly occur in maxillofacial trauma causing enophthalmos and diplopia. If not properly managed the cosmetic and functional problems can virtually become untreatable. In recent years, management of these fractures has been standardized with special emphasis on methods of treatment, timing and materials used for reduction.

They include varying types of defects from a loss of vision to diplopia, loss of an eye, epiphora, a disturbing loss of facial sensation, or even an unacceptable appearance of the eye and the hard and soft tissues around it.

متن کاملParanasal sinus endoscopy and orbital fracture repair.
Although excellent results may be achieved in the management of many orbital floor injuries with standard transconjunctival or transcutaneous approaches, visualization of the posterior edge of the orbital floor or medial wall defect may be challenging at times. We describe our experience using endoscopic examination of the orbital floor through maxillary sinus approaches during the repair of se...
متن کاملOrbital volume measurement in the management of pure blowout fractures of the orbital floor.
With the recent advent of accurate orbital volume assessment by computed tomography, a retrospective analysis was made of 31 patients with 'pure' blowout fracture of the orbital floor, managed either surgically or conservatively, to determine whether orbital volume measurement could provide an additional parameter of use in the management of such fractures. There was a significant difference in...
متن کاملOrbital floor fractures.
Orbital fractures are one of the most commonly seen facial fractures, caused by blunt trauma in road traffic accicents. The floor of the orbit gets affected more commonly than the other walls. Patients usually complain of enophthalmus or diplopia. In certain cases, medical management would suffice but in most situations, surgical management becomes mandatory to prevent loss of vision for the pa...
