Published: April 2010

Orbit fractures are common in the context of orbital trauma. Fractures of the orbital floor without orbital rim involvement are known as indirect orbital floor fractures, pure internal floor fractures, and orbital blowout fractures. In this paper, we have reported a meta-analysis of orbital floor fractures focusing on indications and timing of surgical repair, outcomes, and complications.

Age-stratified anatomical differences of orbital floor and medial orbital wall blowout fractures.

Graefes Arch Clin Exp Ophthalmol

January 2025

Department of Oculoplastic, Orbital & Lacrimal Surgery, Aichi Medical University Hospital, 1-1 Yazako-Karimata, Nagakute, Aichi, 480-1195, Japan.

Purpose: To define the anatomical variance between orbital floor and medial orbital wall blowout fractures, and its change with age.

Methods: This was a retrospective, observational study analyzing data from 557 patients with isolated blowout fractures of the orbital floor or medial orbital wall. Axial and quasi-sagittal CT images were analyzed to compare radiologic data on orbital wall morphology between fracture site groups and among age groups.

Article Synopsis
  • Infraorbital ethmoidal air cells (IOEAc) are a type of ethmoidal cells located beneath the orbit, showing significant anatomical variation in humans.
  • A study involving 1260 CT scans aimed to identify and classify these variations, noting the presence of IOEAc in 173 cases (13.7%).
  • The new classification system categorized the air cells into five main types with various subtypes, enhancing understanding for clinical practice and future research.

CT is the gold standard for evaluating orbital trauma, providing rapid and detailed imaging of bony structures, soft tissue, and the globe. This is crucial in assessing orbital trauma due to its potential to cause significant impairment of ocular function. This case report presents a 35-year-old male who was admitted to the emergency department with a complicated left orbital blow-out fracture following blunt facial trauma.

Objective: The production of 3-dimensional models and materials according to preoperative virtual surgical planning is a time-consuming process and causes high costs. We aimed to demonstrate the navigation mediated reconstruction of the patients who underwent the removal of a tumoral mass in midfacial region according to their preoperatively prepared surgical plannings.

Study Design: Patients who underwent the removal of tumoral mass and reconstruction in their midfacial region were included in the study.
