OBJECTIVES To investigate the factors affecting recovery of diplopia and limited ocular motility in pediatric patients who underwent surgery for orbital wall fracture. DESIGN Retrospective observational case series. METHODS In this retrospective observational case series, 150 pediatric patients (1-18 years old) who were diagnosed with orbital medial wall or floor fracture and underwent corr...

although uncommon, traumatic optic neuropathy (ton) is an important cause of visual loss. different therapeutic approaches including different dosages of steroids, surgical decompression of optic canal and observation alone have been suggested but there has been no conclusive evidence to establish a standard approach to this devastating cause of visual loss. to determine the effectiveness of in...

CASE REPORT We report the case of a 2 year-old child with orbital emphysema secondary to a compressed-air gun shot in the malar region, with no evidence of orbital wall fracture. Conservative treatment was applied, and no complications were observed. DISCUSSION Orbital emphysema in the absence of an orbital wall fracture is a rare situation. Orbital emphysema is usually seen in facial trauma ...

conclusions metacarpal neck fractures are a common injury in young and active patients that results in substantial missed time from work. while the surgical indications are well-described, there is no consensus on the optimal treatment modality because of high complication rates. dorsal plating has higher complication rates than closed reduction and percutaneous pinning, but is necessary in com...

purpose: to determine the prevalence of intraocular injuries in patients with blow-out fracture and also to evaluate the etiologic mechanism of orbital blow-out fractures methods: this study is a consecutive case series analysis of 116 patients with orbital blow-out fractures. the patients were visited by an ophthalmologist within 24 hours of trauma. results: ninety-one men and twenty-five wome...

In 1997, Lambert and colleagues demonstrated that the absence of sinus fluid on head CT essentially excludes a fracture involving the sinus walls. Our purpose is to reevaluate this association utilizing the current standard of imaging technology. With improved image resolution, we aim to reassess whether the sensitivity and specificity of the "clear sinus sign" are improved or worsened. Further...

Orbital blowout fractures are common sequelae of facial trauma. For their treatment, it is now possible to make three-dimensional (3D) implants on the basis of computed tomography (CT) images, using rapid prototyping and to bend the implants preoperatively in the desired shape. However, in orbital fracture, the unique anatomy of the orbit makes the process of fitting and aligning such implants ...

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is also referred to non-lymphocytic leukemia in the literature. It comprises about 15% of the childhood leukemia. There are multiple subtypes of AML from M0-M7 with approximately 45% of the cases being M0-M2 and the remaining subtypes being rare. The definitive diagnosis relies on bone marrow biopsy showing bone marrow infiltration with leukemic cells. We describe a...

A 40-year-old man presented with bradycardia, left eye pain, and intermittent nausea 1 day after blunt trauma to the left orbit. Imaging revealed a large orbital floor fracture with significant herniation of orbital contents but no obvious extraocualar muscle entrapment. Oculocardiac reflex was suspected, and the fracture was repaired surgically within 24 hours of presentation. His bradycardia ...

introduction iatrogenic patellar fracture is reported as a complication of patella procedures, such as medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction, reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament of the knee using bone-patellar tendon-bone technique, and resurfacing the patella in total knee arthroplasty. case presentation a 65-year-old lady with right patella fracture was treated with open ...
