Orbital floor fracture, especially with constriction of orbital soft tissue, should be reconstructed surgically. Although various approaches to treat the orbital floor have been reported, procedures have not been unified among hospitals or surgeons. Since 2009, we have adopted a procedure combining a transorbital approach via subciliary incision with a transantral approach through upper gingival incision. The combined approach compensates for the shortcomings of each approach, leading to successful reconstruction. It is applicable safely for trapdoor fracture of the orbital floor in children, which more frequently constricts orbital soft tissue and which leaves permanent diplopia. This report retrospectively assessed clinical preoperative findings and postoperative outcomes of patients who received reconstruction of orbital floor fracture with the combined approach in our department from August 2009 through March 2021. Data of 21 patients with orbital floor fracture were analyzed, only one (4.8%) of whom had postoperative diplopia. Specifically, we describe children with trapdoor fracture treated with the combined approach, resulting in complete recovery. The combined approach stands as an excellent procedure for reconstruction of orbital floor fracture in adults and even in children.

A 70-year-old woman with an upper respiratory infection sustained an orbital floor fracture after vigorous nose blowing. The injury was complicated by orbital emphysema and cellulitis. CT scanning confirmed orbital floor fracture and associated orbital soft tissue herniation into the maxillary antrum. A follow-up sinus endoscopy three months later showed a healed periosteum and mucosa, but continued orbital herniation. As the patient's symptoms had largely resolved, repair was averted. Follow-up after nine months showed no recurrence of orbital swelling. The case presented illustrates a rare complication of vigorous nose blowing, coupled with thinning of the sinus walls seen in aging.
