BACKGROUND AND AIM This study aims at evaluating the reliability on specific multi-planar cone beam computer tomography (CBCT) reconstruction in the orbital floor fractures. METHODS CBCT examination of the mid-face fractures area involving the floor of the orbit was performed in a number of 93 trauma patients by two independent radiologists. Both radiologists assessed the axial, coronal and s...

OBJECTIVE To ask experts in the field to evaluate a surgeon's experience with a retroseptal transconjunctival approach for the repair of the orbital floor damaged by blowout fracture that the surgeon encountered in 12 East-Asian patients. METHODS Patients were identified from a database, and a retrospective case note review was conducted. A total of 12 conjunctival procedures were conducted f...

Childhood is a highly risky age group in terms of orbital injuries. Injuries of the forehead in the presence of orbital ecchymosis, swelling and haematoma of the eyelids, infiltration and swelling of the surrounding tissues and the face must be carefully examined for a high level of suspicion of the presence of orbital fracture and exclusion of intracranial complications which may accompany orb...

Orbital injuries are often missed out when they occur concomitantly with other facial bone fractures. Clinical examination and plain radiographic findings alone may prove inadequate in the detection of orbital floor fractures. Refined imaging techniques like CT scans and MRI are immensely helpful in the diagnosis of orbital blowout fractures. A case of 'impure' orbital blowout fracture which we...

OBJECTIVES Endoscopic approach provides excellent magnification and visualization, and a purely transnasal approach is minimally invasive method. However, it is very difficult to repair anterior and lateral fractures with the previous transnasal endoscopic approaches, since repair of orbital fractures is managed through the middle meatus and ostium from the posterior side of the nasolacrimal du...

Orbital emphysema is usually caused by trauma and fracture of an orbital bone, allowing air to pass from the sinuses into the orbit. Orbital emphysema without any significant trauma is rare. We present a case of a 67-year-old-woman who complained of left exophthalmos without any history of trauma, sneezing, or sinus surgery. Computed tomography scanning showed left orbital emphysema protruding ...

To evaluate the advantages and efficacy of two point mini plate fixation for the zygomatic complex fractures using lateral eye brow and infra orbital approaches for fixing the fronto zygomatic fracture and infra orbital fracture. The zygomatico-maxillary complex functions as the principle buttress of the face and is the cornerstone to an individual’s aesthetic appearance. The zygomatic complex ...

The management of orbital fractures is one of the most interesting and difficult areas in facial trauma. The consequences of an orbital fracture are sometimes dramatic. 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. The...

this report presents a 3.5-year-old boy who was hospitalized for limping. medical history and physical exams were not suggestive for any definitive diagnosis. laboratory and radiographic exams did not support any specific diagnosis either. subsequently bone scan was performed and increased activity in the ankle due to cuboid fracture was incidentally observed.
