Severe ocular injuries are uncommon in patients with pure orbital blow-out fractures. Over a 3-year period, 45 patients with radiologically proved blow-out fractures were reviewed by an ophthalmologist. Decrease in visual acuity was the main clinical finding accompanying significant eye injury. Although most eye injuries were transient, early ophthalmic assessment is recommended to exclude pote...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to determine the epidemiology of ocular lesions seen in the ophthalmic casualty room of the largest referral hospital in Egypt over 5 years from 2004 to 2008. METHODS This epidemiologic database study used the medical records at Cairo University Hospital. Data were recorded using the ICD10 classification. Statistical analysis was based on diagnosis, ag...

The emergence and popularity of cosmetic facial procedures may lead to significant ophthalmic complications such as ocular motility dysfunction visual disability. Here, we present a scoping review identify common in some plastic surgeries injections, develop clinical approaches for prophylaxis management terms direct attention awareness non-ophthalmologists toward scenarios appropriate interven...

Anhydrous ammonia, a widespread industrial chemical, can cause severe inhalation and ophthalmic injuries, as well as cutaneous burns. We present five patients with ammonia injury treated at our burn center after an explosion in a warehouse. The challenges inherent in managing the pulmonary complications of this injury are emphasized.

PURPOSE To describe a series of orbital fractures and associated ophthalmic and craniofacial injuries in the pediatric population. METHODS A retrospective case series of 312 pediatric patients over a 9-year period (2002-2011) with orbit fractures diagnosed by CT. RESULTS Five hundred ninety-one fractures in 312 patients were evaluated. There were 192 boys (62%) and 120 girls (38%) with an a...

BACKGROUND Orbital roof fractures are frequently associated with a high energy impact to the craniofacial region, and displaced orbital roof fractures can cause ophthalmic and neurologic complications and occasionally require open surgical intervention. The purpose of this article was to investigate the clinical features and treatment outcomes of orbital root fractures combined with neurologic ...

Ophthalmic artery is the branch of internal carotid artery as it emerges from the cavernous sinus medial to anterior clinoid process. Thereafter it traverses in optic canal to enter in the orbit, lies inferolaterally to the optic nerve. It continues forward over the optic nerve (80%) and below the nerve (20%). Main trunk of the artery ends by dividing in to supratrochlear and dorsal nasal branc...
