ABSTRACT
Blowout fracture is a fracture of the bony orbital floor in the direction of the maxillary sinus as the result of a sudden increase of intra-orbital pressure secondry to a blow to the eye and soft tissue of the orbit from non penetrating convex objects. A common clinical manifestations of blowout fracture are enophthalmos, intra-orbital anesthesia, diplopia and mechanical limitation of ocular rotation. The early diagnosis and proper treatment of blowout fracture may prevent disability and deformity. Recently, we have repaired three cases of blowout fracture by use of the Cald-well-luc approach combined with the Subciliary incision. We report three cases of blowout fracture with a brief review of the literature.
