Deep lateral orbital wall decompression is considered the first choice procedure [1] in treating disfiguring proptosis, as well as, compressive optic neuropathy and congestive orbitopathy [2,3]. Although detailed normal anatomy of the deep lateral orbital wall has already been reported [1,4,5], there are no reports of anomalies of the wall. We experienced two types of anomalies of the deep late...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to assess the correlation between the 2-dimensional (2D) extent of orbital defects and the 3-dimensional (3D) volume of herniated orbital content in patients with an orbital wall fracture. METHODS This retrospective study was based on the medical records and radiologic data of 60 patients from January 2014 to June 2016 for a unilateral isolated orbital...
