Abstract Introduction Orbital floor fractures are routinely encountered in facial trauma. Many factors influence the final outcome of orbital surgery, time interval and extent other bone two which can significantly postoperative following reconstruction. Our study aims to find ideal for intervention association Methods A retrospective prospective cohort patients who were operated at Pondicherry...

Spontaneous enophthalmos unrelated to trauma or surgery is rare. The term 'silent sinus syndrome' has been used to describe this process where, in particular, there is an absence of any sino-nasal symptoms. The enophthalmos and hypoglobus that occurs in these subjects is caused by atelectasis of the maxillary antrum, which itself appears to be due to chronic maxillary hypoventilation. We report...

Secondary enophthalmos caused by an untreated orbital blowout fracture can cause esthetic and functional disturbances. The esthetic defect is manifested by sinking of the superior sulcus and the hypophthalmic globe. Functional impairment of the eye can usually be a common complaint with restriction of eye motion and diplopia. Early diagnosis followed by repair of surgically correctable fracture...

INTRODUCTION Removal of the medial orbital wall and periorbit during endoscopic endonasal procedures for malignant tumors or during endoscopic transorbital procedures for intraorbital tumors may cause transient or permanent diplopia, enophthalmos, and strabismus (Fig. 1). Here, we present a simple technique that prevents these complications and allows for a spontaneous reconstruction of the med...

INTRODUCTION Enophthalmos is an important physical sign which can be easily missed. CASE PRESENTATION A 64-year old female presented with painless and progressive shrinking of her right eye. Visual acuity was 6/6 in both eyes. The main clinical findings included exophthalmometry readings of 14 mm in the right eye and 22 mm in the left eye and a linear scar on her right forehead. This scar is ...

INTRODUCTION Silent sinus syndrome (SSS) is a rare disorder with protean manifestations. An absence of familiarity with ambiguous and atypical presentations may complicate diagnosis and delay management. CASE PRESENTATION A 28year old female patient presented with a chronic history of headache, post-nasal discharge and recurrent facial pain refractory to analgesics. Enophthalmos and hypoglobu...

BACKGROUND Absorbable materials offer many advantages in the reconstruction of orbital walls; however, the possibility of postoperative enophthalmos after complete absorption cannot be excluded. We evaluated the postoperative results of absorbable mesh plates used as onlay implanting on the medial orbital wall to determine whether they are suitable for medial orbital wall reconstruction. METH...

BMJ Case Reports Published online: 5 December 2012 doi:10.1136/bcr-2012007492 DESCRIPTION A 27-year-old man presented with a chief complaint of right eye enophthalmos. He had no visual symptoms and detailed ophthalmic examination showed a right-sided enophthalmos with hypoglobus, giving a sunken sulcus appearance to the right upper lid. The clinical pi...

Orbital floor reconstruction in total maxillectomy cases is a challenging task. Enophthalmos, ptosis, diplopia, dystopia, and contour deformity may result if there failure of adequate support by the reconstructive measures. Many options orbital are available with their inherent complications no single option provide required results terms function esthetics.

PURPOSE This study assessed the association between eye symptoms (enophthalmos or diplopia) and site of damage, volume, deviated inferior rectus muscle (IRM) and type of fracture with computed tomography (CT). The intent is to anticipate the prognosis of orbital trauma at initial diagnosis. METHODS Forty-five patients were diagnosed with fractures of the inferior wall of one orbit. Fracture a...
