“…[12] Amin El-Attar (1985) showed a 50% incidence of infraorbital nerve anesthesia in all zygomatico-orbital fractures. [10] Peter Jugell and Lindqvist (1987) told 81% incidence of paresthesia of the infraorbital nerve in 68 patients with the fractures of zygomatic complex. [13] The present study shows 16 patients with infraorbital nerve disorders—seven of them (63.6%) had orbital fractures and nine (25% of all patients) were in conjunction with zygomaticomaxillary complex fractures.…”

Background:Ophthalmic injuries commonly occur in patients with facial fractures. This study was set up to determine the incidence of ophthalmic injuries as assessed by an ophthalmologist, in patients who had sustained maxillofacial fractures.Objective:To determine the incidence of ophthalmic injuries in maxillofacial fractures in Indian population.Materials and Methods:A study of 136 patients who had sustained facial trauma sufficient to lead to a facial bone fracture was undertaken and the patients received a comprehensive examination by an ophthalmologist and an orthoptist within one week of injury. All the patients sustaining confirmed maxillofacial fractures were examined by an ophthalmologist for any associated ocular injury. The ophthalmic injuries were classified into three categories—mild, moderate, severe.ResultsNinety-three patients (68.3%) examined sustained eye injuries of various types. Of these, 61.2% were temporary or minor, 29.03% were moderate, and 9.6% were serious. The highest incidence was found in association with mid face fractures, i.e., 95.7%. Fifty-seven patients sustained 176 minor ophthalmologic injuries; 27 patients suffered moderately; 33 had severe ophthalmic injuries. Nine patients sustained severe eye injuries.Conclusion:It is suggested that all traumas to the face, particularly above the level of the mouth, require a careful eye examination, including an estimation of visual acuity of each type.

“…Il est largement rØpandu de faire reposer l'indication opØratoire sur la prØsence d'un trouble de la motilitØ avec diplopie, sur l'Ønophtalmie de plus de 3 mm et sur l'imagerie dØmontrant la fracture avec incarcØration [13,22]. L'Ønophtalmie peut cependant tre masquØe par l'údme et l'hØmorragie, et son absence ne permet pas de supposer l'intØgritØ des parois orbitaires [12].…”

“…Une restriction de la motilitØ peut toutefois tre causØe Øgalement par un hØmatome musculaire [10]. Cette situation est souvent difficile à diffØrencier d'un údme massif ou d'un hØmatome des paupires et de l'orbite [6,7,11,12].…”

“…Such a change in the appearance of the inferior rectus muscle has not previously been highlighted. Some authors (Patterson and Depue, 1962;Gorenetal., 1966;Reeh and Tsujimura, 1966;KrollandWolper, 1967;Grove, 1979;Yamamoto et al, 1983) have considered demonstrating prolapse and muscle entrapment important. Zonneveld (1985, 1987) have suggested muscle entrapment is rare and have advocated sagittal scans to reveal the appearance of the orbital connective tissue system along the inferior axis of the muscle.…”

Subtle diagnostic markers of orbital floor blow-out fracture on coronal CT scan

1993

The sagittal plane, computerized tomography (CT) scan has been proposed as the most important radiological view in the diagnosis of orbital floor blow-out fractures. This view however is impractical and unnecessary. Direct, coronal plane CT scan with careful attention paid to the shape of the inferior rectus muscle and antral roof will successfully diagnose this traumatic condition, as in our reported case in which no other radiological abnormalities were present.
