PURPOSE To study the characteristics of orbital cyst associated with microphthalmos in a group of Chinese patients, and to analyze the relationship between orbital cyst and orbital volume. DESIGN Cross-sectional comparative study. PARTICIPANTS 120 patients who were diagnosed as unilateral clinical blind microphthalmos, in which 20 patients had orbital cyst in the affected eye. METHOD Part...

purpose: to report a case of enophthalmos secondary to complete globe dislocation into the maxillary sinus due to orbital fracture. patient and findings: an 18-year-old man was referred to labafinejad hospital, one week after a car accident. at initial examination, the globe was not seen within the right orbit. a large floor fracture and globe luxation into the right maxillary sinus were confir...

BACKGROUND The objective of this article is to evaluate clinical outcomes of combined orbital floor and medial wall fracture repair using a three-dimensional pre-bent titanium implant in an East Asian population. METHODS Clinical and radiologic data were analyzed for 11 patients with concomitant orbital floor and medial wall fractures. A combined transcaruncular and inferior fornix approach w...

Purpose: To report the surgical outcome of traumatic blow out fractures of the floor of the orbit. Materials and methods: Five patients who sustained orbital floor blowout fracture following trauma underwent surgical repair via trans-conjunctival or subciliary approaches. One patient had sustained bilateral blowout fracture. Three patients presented with symptoms early following the fracture wi...

OBJECTIVE To identify the optimal surgical method for managing blowout fractures of the inferior orbital wall by analyzing the location and type of fracture based on computed tomographic findings and medical records. METHODS Medical records of 102 patients with pure inferior blowout fractures who were treated between June 1996 and December 2005 were reviewed regarding fracture type and locati...

implant-supported craniofacial prostheses are made to restore defective areas in the face and cranium. this clinical report describes a technique for fabrication of an orbital prosthesis with three adjacent implants in the left lateral orbital rim of a 60-year-old woman. selection of appropriate attachment system (individual magnetic abutments versus bar-clip attachment) for implant-supported o...

Figure 1. Intraoperative photo showing the displaced fracture fragment. DESCRIPTION A 55-year-old white man presented with double vision 2 days after low-velocity blunt force–isolated facial trauma. He complained of persistent vertical and horizontal double vision, particularly with inferior and lateral gaze. He had minimal dentition, but he believed that his teeth aligned normally. A computed ...

PURPOSE Operative treatment of unstable posterior wall fractures of acetabulum has been widely recommended. This laboratory study was undertaken to evaluate static fixation strength of three common fixation constructs: interfragmentary screws alone, in combination with conventional reconstruction plate, or locking reconstruction plate. METHODS Six formalin-preserved cadaveric pelvises were us...
