Surgical approach to isolated bilateral orbital floor fractures
نویسندگان
چکیده
Isolated bilateral orbital floor fractures are uncommon and are rarely described in the scientific literature. They are usually seen in association with naso-ethmoidal fractures, zygomatic fractures, or fractures of the middle third. We report our experience in the management of a patient presenting bilateral isolated orbital floor fracture. The difficulties in management of these fractures are due to the lack of an uninjured contralateral side for intraoperative comparison.
