Orbital Floor Reconstruction

A 3-year-old patient was referred to the oral and maxillofacial department with a fracture of the orbital floor. Due to the lack of clinical symptoms, a conservative approach was chosen. After 3 weeks, an enophthalmos developed. The orbital floor reconstruction was successfully performed through a transconjunctival approach. This case highlights the rarity of pure blowout fractures in young children. The specific presentation and diagnostics of orbital floor fractures in children and the related surgical planning and intervention are discussed.

Endoscopic Assistance

Background and objective: Orbital floor fractures are very common in current day to day scenario. Till date different treatment modalities have been tried to reconstruct the orbital fractures. Conventionally various transorbital approaches have been used. But in cases where there is involvement of posterior part of orbit there is drawback of incomplete accessibility. To overcome this endoscopic assistance tends to get mandatory through trans-antral approach for better visualization, providing a good alternative to conventional approach. Case Report: A 55-year-old male patient with pure blowout fracture along with persistent diplopia and enophthalmos was operated with sub tarsal approach along with trans antral approach using endoscope. Result: The post-surgical results were satisfactory in respect to correction of diplopia and enophthalmos. Conclusion: Conventional approach assisted with endoscope provides a new method of managing Orbital floor fractures improving treatment outcomes.

The aim of this study is to present a narrative review of the properties of materials currently used for orbital floor reconstruction. Orbital floor fractures, due to their complex anatomy, physiology, and aesthetic concerns, pose complexities regarding management. Since the 1950s, a myriad of materials has been used to reconstruct orbital floor fractures. This narrative review synthesises the findings of literature retrieved from search of PubMed, Web of Science, and Google Scholar databases. This narrative review was conducted of 66 studies on reconstructive materials. Ideal material properties are that they are resorbable, osteoconductive, resistant to infection, minimally reactive, do not induce capsule formation, allow for bony ingrowth, are cheap, and readily available. Autologous implants provide reliable, lifelong, and biocompatible material choices. Allogenic materials pose a threat of catastrophic disease transmission. Newer alloplastic materials have gained popularity. Consideration must be made when deliberating the use of permanent alloplastic materials that are a foreign body with potential body interactions, or the use of resorbable alloplastic materials failing to provide adequate support for orbital contents. It is vital that surgeons have an appropriate knowledge of materials so that they are used appropriately and reduce the risks of complications.

Orbital Floor Reconstruction

Background: There are multiple approaches to repairing orbital floor fractures. This study compares the postoperative complications of the subciliary and transconjunctival approaches. Methods: The electronic medical records from 2 hospitals were screened for CPT codes associated with orbital floor reconstruction. A total of 184 patients were identified and included in the study. Patient characteristics and complications were compared by surgical approach. Results: Of the 184 patients, 82 (44.6%) were in the subciliary group and 102 (55.4%) were in the transconjunctival group. The overall postoperative complication rate was 25.5%. The most common of these were diplopia (11.4%), corneal injury (7.1%), proptosis (5.4%), and enopthalmos (4.9%). The complication rate was not statistically significant between the 2 groups. Conclusion: Subciliary and transconjunctival approaches to orbital floor repair are equally safe. This study is limited by a smaller sample size, and a larger study will likely be necessary to fully address this question.

Introduction. Orbital floor blowout fracture is a common traumatic lesion of the craniofacial complex, but rarely in children population, consequently representing challenge in surgical treatment. Timely diagnosis and surgical treatment prevent the probability of the occurrence of the functional complications. Case report. We presented surgical treatment of on 8-year-old girl with a blowout orbital floor fracture one month after the injury. The predominant symptoms were: ocular bulb motility disorder with consecutive strabismus and double vision. Orbital floor reconstruction was made by an autogenous mandibular symphyseal graft. A year after the orbital floor reconstruction additional correction of strabismus was performed due to functional disorder of the bulbomotor muscles. Conclusion. Delayed surgical treatment of blowout orbital floor fracture in children leads to unsatisfactory functional results in the majority of cases. In such a situation surgical correction of strabismus is necessary in order to obtain functionally quality vision and satisfactory aesthetic appearance.

Inferior Rectus Muscle

Orbital floor fractures (OBF) account for 40% of mid-facial injuries and are therefore the most common of all trauma injuries in this region. The post-treatment complication that often follows orbital floor repair is residual diplopia or 1 persistent diplopia and is seen in 86% of the OBF cases. The causes for persistent diplopia can be varied and is often related to the degree of inflammation, trauma to 2 musculature, fat or nerves and surgical timing. Some of the common causes of the same are - malpositioning of the globe, fibrosis of the inferior fibro fatty muscular complex following trauma, direct damage to an extraocular muscle (commonly inferior rectus muscle), local injury to a motor nerve, ischemia (or compartment syndrome), iatrogenic damage during reconstructive surgery or entrapment under improperly placed alloplastic material. Our case report mentions a rare case of persistent vertical diplopia even after successful repair of orbital blowout fracture. A 15-year-old male patient following a road traffic accident presented with persistent headache and vertical diplopia. The patient was evaluated by a oral maxillofacial surgeon and a presumptive diagnosis of a case of large orbital floor fracture with entrapment of inferior rectus muscle was made which was confirmed on CT Scan. He was managed surgically by reduction of the fracture and fixation with a titanium mesh. 2 weeks post-surgery he reported to the squint clinic with complaints of persistent double vision. On comprehensive ocular examination, it was found that patient had vertical diplopia with limitation of infraduction in the left eye with negative FDT, on re-evaluation of MRI scans with 1 mm cuts, a partial left inferior rectus tear was seen and documented as the cause of persistent diplopia. Patient was treated conservatively by prescribing prismatic glasses with fusional exercises. After 6 months of follow up, the patient was relieved of diplopia in primary position but there was a residual hypotropia in downgaze for which he was prescribed prisms only for downgaze.

Year 2000

A web-based anonymous survey was performed to assess common practices of oculofacial surgeons in the management of traumatic orbital floor blowout fractures. A questionnaire which contained questions on several controversial topics in the management of orbital floor fractures was sent out via e-mail to 131 oculofacial surgeons in 14 countries in the Asia-Pacific region. A total response rate of 58.3% was achieved from May to December 2012. The preferred time for surgical intervention was within 2 weeks for adult patients, porous polyethylene implant was the most popular choice, and most surgeons preferred the transconjunctival approach. Postoperatively, diplopia was the most commonly encountered complication and most oculofacial surgeons reviewed their patients regularly for up to 12 months. We report the results of the first survey of oculofacial surgeons within the Asia-Pacific region on the management of orbital floor blowout fractures. Compared with previous surveys (from year 2000 to 2004), the duration to surgical intervention was comparable but there was a contrasting change in preferred surgical approach and choice of orbital implant.
