Atypical Cases of Blowout Fracture with Retained Naso-orbital Foreign Bodies: Case Series and Review of Literature

Abstract

An orbital blowout fracture is a fracture of any wall of the orbit, including the medial, lateral, posterior, the floor, or the roof. The most common injury site is the floor or the medial wall. Any blow to the face or eye, especially the orbital rim, can cause this injury. Vision threatening complications like permanent diplopia and cosmetically unacceptable enopthalmos make this an important injury to be identified quickly. Here, we present two atypical cases of orbital blowout fractures with retained nasoorbital foreign bodies where mechanism of injury was different but resulted in permanent vision loss due to delay in diagnosis. These type of injuries need prompt management including proper radiological diagnosis and treatment. How to cite this article Pant G, Gaur S, Sharma T.
