Orbital volume measurement in the management of pure blowout fractures of the orbital floor.
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 orbital volume discrepancy between patients managed surgically or conservatively suggesting that this investigation may be of use in decision making on surgical intervention in patients with orbital blowout fractures.

متن کاملImpact of surgical timing of postoperative ocular motility in orbital blowout fractures
PURPOSE To investigate the surgical timing postinjury in regard to ocular motility in patients with orbital-floor blowout fractures. METHODS This study involved 197 eyes (92 right eyes and 105 left eyes) of 197 patients (154 males and 43 females, mean age: 29.0 years, range: 7-85 years) with pure orbital blowout fractures. All patients underwent surgical repair within 30 days postinjury and w...
متن کاملPrevalence of Diplopia and Extraocular Movement Limitation according to the Location of Isolated Pure Blowout Fractures
BACKGROUND Isolated pure blowout fractures are clinically important because they are the main cause of serious complications such as diplopia and limitation of extraocular movement. Many reports have described the incidence of blowout fractures associated with diplopia and limitation of extraocular movement; however, no studies have statistically analyzed this relationship. The purpose of this ...
