INTODUCTION Blow Out Fracture is a fracture of the orbital floor caused by sudden increase of intraorbital pressure without involvement of the orbital rim. occur both as isolated injuries and in conjunction with additional maxillofacial fractures or multisystem trauma. Most of the blow out fractures occurs on the floor of the orbit and others occurs on medial wall with or without fractur of the orbital floor . Ophthalmology consultation is appropriate in selected cases .

DIAGNOSIS – FORCED DUCTION TEST The limbus is gripped with forceps, and the globe is moved in multiple position to stretch the rectus muscles and superior oblique muscle and tendons, evaluating for any restriction in movement FORCED DUCTION TEST Humphrey CD, Kriet JD. Orbital Fractures in Bailey’s Head and Neck Surgery Otolaryngology. 5 th ed. 2014. Lippincot Williams & Wilkins. Ch.154, p.1225– 1240.
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES - CT SCAN CT Scan is the imaging modality of choice (gold standard) if a blowout fracture is suspected after blunt orbital trauma Patients suspected of suffering an orbital floor fracture should undergo thin cut (1.0 - 1.5mm) axial CT scans of the orbit with coronal reconstruction (Thin cut coronal reconstructions are actually preferred to direct coronal images as they avoid artifact from dental amalgam) Paul D.

All trauma patients should initially be stabilized and evaluated according to ATLS protocol. Patients with severe orbitofacial trauma decreased visual acuity, and/or double vision should be evaluated. Comprehensive screening c t scans have become needed. .

Indications for Surgical Management White eye rectus inferior trap OCR Diplopia that persists beyond 7 to 10 days. Obvious signs of entrapment. Relative enophthalmos >2 mm. Fracture that involves >50% of the orbital floor. Entrapment that causes an oculocardiac reflex bradycardia and cardiovascular instability. Progressive infra orbital nerve numbness
Aim of surgical repair Release of entrapped orbital contents Reconstruction of floor of the orbit Reconstruction of inferior wall of orbit is another important step that should be performed to prevent to further prolapse of orbital content into the maxillary sinus. Autologous bone/cartilage graft, or synthetic meshes can be used for the purpose Ehrenfeld M, Manson PN dan Prein J.

INTODUCTION Common Orbital Fracture Sites : Inferior and medial walls, thinnest bony areas More common in males, ages 21-31 Causes: falls, motor vehicle accidents, assaults
CLINICAL FINDINGS
Type Orbital Fracture
DIAGNOSTIC Clinical examination : Palpation: step-off and point tenderness along the infraorbital rim Imaging : Gold standard: CT scan without contrast
SURGICAL REPAIR Reduction of fracture, repositioning herniating tissues, stabilization with implant/graft Emergent surgery: extraocular muscle incarceration, acute enophthalmos, hypoglobus Observation recommended for resolution of edema before surgery
Timing Of Surgery Semi-urgent surgery: within 1-2 weeks Delayed surgery: at least 3 months for tissue healing
SURGICAL APPROACHES
Age/Gender: 19-year-old female Symptoms: Marked hypoglobus and enophthalmos Incident: Fell from a 5m high fence onto concrete Injuries: Panfacial fractures involving both orbits and surrounding sinuses Timeline: 7 months post-injury with multiple surgical treatments Case Report
Initial Findings Panfacial fractures to include both orbits and surrounding sinuses Immediate post-injury ophthalmology exams obtained at bedside while she was in induced coma revealed bilateral periorbital hematoma with edema, conjunctival chemosis, right pupil slightly more dilated, and the impalpable right-side orbital rim. CT scans had shown extensive fracture of both ethmoid and maxillary sinus walls, right orbital medial and inferior wall, with bony fragments dislocation, fat prolapse, and hemorrhagic content in the right maxillary sinus
IMAGING RESULT CT Scan Findings : Extensive fractures: ethmoid and maxillary sinus walls, right orbital medial and inferior wall Dislocated bony fragments, fat prolapse, hemorrhagic content in right maxillary sinus
INITIAL SURGICAL INTERVENTIONS Maxillofacial Team (MFT) Actions: Stabilized vital functions Repaired facial and orbital fractures Surgical Approaches: Extended lateral canthal incision for orbital roof repair Trans-oral approach for mandibular fracture
DETAILED SURGICAL REPAIR
Follow Up Examination 7 Months Post-Injury : Best-corrected visual acuity: 20/25 in both eyes Ocular normotension, intact extraocular movement Relative hypoglobus (5 mm) and enophthalmos (4 mm) on right side Right relative afferent pupillary defect (RAPD), slightly pale and decentered right optic nerve head
An extension of the orbital fat tissue herniating into the maxillary sinus through the floor fracture. The fractured medial wall of the ethmoid sinus was indented inward by the orbital soft tissue. Both globes and other orbital structures were of regular form and size, with the right globe clearly enophthalmic on the scan IMAGING
SURGICAL APPROACH Operation technique : Incision transconjunctiva through inferior fornix, placing the incision 4–6 mm below the tarsus A traction suture was placed to elevate the conjunctiva and retractors over the cornea, using 6–0 nylon suture The dissection was advanced down to the infraorbital rim, elevating the periosteum posteriorly Reduction of herniating orbital tissue Exposing the orbital floor, the size of a fracture was measured to adjust the size and shape of a 0.35 mm thick nylon implant Forced duction test to ensure no restriction
CT Scan Findings : Orbital fat herniating into maxillary sinus through floor fracture Indented medial wall of ethmoid sinus by orbital soft tissue Both globes of regular form and size, right globe clearly enophthalmic FOLLOW UP IMAGING
POST OPERATIVE CARE Treatment : Systemic antibiotics, pain relief medication, topical antibiotic ointment Head elevation and monitoring Follow-Up : 1-week follow-up: Enophthalmos improved from 4 mm to 2 mm, minimal hypoglobus Long-term: Persistent improvement in globe position, no diplopia, satisfied with aesthetic appearance
