ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
We sought to evaluate the clinical aspects associated with a preoperative and postoperative state in cases of blow-out fracture.METHODS:
We retrospectively assessed the cause, location, type, and ocular motility restriction in 25 eyes of 25 pediatric patients with blow-out fracture, which were repaired by orbital reconstruction between January 2001 and June 2004.RESULTS:
The mean age of patients was 14.96 years, the most common cause of fracture was assault (13 cases, 52%); there were 15 case (60%) of inferior wall fracture, 14 cases (45%) of comminuted type fracture, and 11 cases (35.4%) of trapdoor type fracture. The mean time to intervention was 14 days (range, 3 to 56 days). Ocular motility restriction improved most in the early postoperative period, and then decreased gradually. At last follow-up, the majority of patients had improved. Their diplopia improved almost completely, except in one patient who had late orbital reconstruction.CONCLUSIONS:
Most cases of blow-out fracture were resolved with orbital reconstruction. Even when performed late, orbital reconstruction is helpful in improving the symptoms associated with blow-out fracture.
