--- abstract: 'A retrospective study of patients with orbital fractures had 48% patients in the age group of 20 – 40 years with male : female ratio of 10:1. Road traffic accidents (71.43%) were the most common cause followed by injury due to fall (20%). Eighty five percent of patients had normal visual acuity at presentation and 65.57% patients had no ocular complaints. Diplopia was present in 14.2% of patients. Of the orbital fractures infraorbital rim was involved in 43.13%, floor in 19.6%, lateral wall in 13.7%, pure blow out in 14.28% and the roof in 2.9%. Important ocular findings were extraocular movements restriction in 9 (10.3%), infraorbital dysaesthesia in 3 (3.4%), enophthalmos in 2, RAPD and globe rupture in 1 patient each. 32 patients underwent surgical management. At the end of 4 months of follow up, 3 had restriction of EOM, 1 patient had vision loss due to globe rupture, 2 had RAPD (optic nerve compression), 1 had lagophthalmos, 1 had exotropia and 1 had atrophic bulbi.' altloc: - http://www.ojhas.org/issue21/2007-1-5.htm chapter: ~ commentary: ~ commref: ~ confdates: ~ conference: ~ confloc: ~ contact_email: ~ creators_id: - 'sumana.kamath@gmail.com ' - '' - '' - '' - '' - '' creators_name: - family: Kamath given: Sumana J honourific: '' lineage: '' - family: Kamath given: MG honourific: '' lineage: '' - family: Kamath given: MM honourific: '' lineage: '' - family: Pai given: Shobha G honourific: '' lineage: '' - family: Chhablani given: Jay honourific: '' lineage: '' - family: Chowdary given: Somya honourific: '' lineage: '' date: 2007-07-17 date_type: published datestamp: 2007-09-28 23:24:24 department: ~ dir: disk0/00/00/57/18 edit_lock_since: ~ edit_lock_until: ~ edit_lock_user: ~ editors_id: - Kakkilaya BS editors_name: - family: Kakkilaya given: Srinivas honourific: Dr. lineage: '' eprint_status: archive eprintid: 5718 fileinfo: /style/images/fileicons/application_pdf.png;/5718/1/2007%2D1%2D5.pdf full_text_status: public importid: ~ institution: ~ isbn: ~ ispublished: pub issn: ~ item_issues_comment: [] item_issues_count: 0 item_issues_description: [] item_issues_id: [] item_issues_reported_by: [] item_issues_resolved_by: [] item_issues_status: [] item_issues_timestamp: [] item_issues_type: [] keywords: 'Orbital fracture, Blow out, Optic nerve compression' lastmod: 2011-03-11 08:56:58 latitude: ~ longitude: ~ metadata_visibility: show note: ~ number: 1 pagerange: ~ pubdom: TRUE publication: Online Journal of Health and Allied Sciences publisher: Dr. B.S.
