Orbital Blowout Fracture with Complete Dislocation of the Globe into the Maxillary Sinus
نویسندگان
چکیده
This rare case report describes the diagnosis and treatment of an isolated left-sided orbital floor fracture with a complete dislocation of the globe into the maxillary sinus and briefly discusses the indications of surgery and recovery for orbital floor fractures in general. Complete herniation of the globe through an orbital blow-out fracture is uncommon. However, the current case illustrates that such an occurrence should be in the differential diagnosis and should be considered, especially following high speed/impact injuries involving a foreign object. In these rare cases, surgical intervention is required.

Orbital emphysema is a common symptom accompanying orbital fracture. The pathomechanism is still not recognized and the usually assumed cause, elevated pressure in the upper airways connected with sneezing or coughing, does not always contribute to the occurrence of this type of fracture. Observations based on the finite model (simulating blowout type fracture) of the deformations of the inferi...

متن کاملManagement of a severe cranio-orbito-facial trauma with a dislocation of the globe into the maxillary sinus.
We report two cases of severe cranio-orbito-facial trauma associated with a dislocation of the globe into the maxillary sinus. Simultaneous surgical repositioning the globe in the orbit and reconstruction of the orbital floor defect with an autogenous bone was performed in the first case. Postoperatively, the globe was in a normal position with a moderately reduced motility. The patient's visua...
