Abstract Introduction: Orbital floor fracture repair is common practical clinic and challenging for most surgeons. Open reduction and internal fixation is conventional treatment for a long time. Recently, endocopy has been using as assisted method with many advantages. Materials and Methods: Cross-sectional study. The author reports first five cases in Vietnam which were reconstructed the orbital floor via maxillary sinus intra-oral approach with endoscopic-assisted at Viet Duc University Hospital from 2016 to 2019. Results: 5 cases (2 emergency surgeries and 3 selective surgeries) were treated with transmaxillar-sinus intra oral endoscopy for orbital floor reconstruction (2 titanium mesh, 1 absorable mesh, 2 porous polyethylenne mesh). All patients were evaluated with good results both in function and aesthetic aspect. No complication was recorded. One patient has facial numbness (innervated by inferior orbital nerve) but temporary and resolve after 3 months. Conclusion: The prelimenary results confirmed that transmaxillary-sinus intra-oral endoscopy for orbital floor reconstruction is reliable and safe method. Key word: Orbital fracture, facial trauma, enophthalmos, orbital floor reconstruction, endoscopic surgery. Tóm tắt Đặt vấn đề: Chấn thương sàn ổ mắt khá thường gặp trong thực hành lâm sàng. Điều trị các tổn thương này vẫn luôn là một thách thức với các bác sĩ phẫu thuật. Phương pháp kinh điển là mổ mở vào nếp má mi, dưới viền mi hoặc đường kết mạc. Việc sử dụng nội soi hỗ trợ hay toàn bộ giúp tăng cường khả năng quan sát chính xác của phẫu thuật viên, đặc biệt là với các thương tổn nằm sâu trong ổ mắt, từ đó giúp phục hồi tốt nhất về giải phẫu và thể tích ổ mắt. Phương pháp nghiên cứu: Nghiên cứu cắt ngang 05 người bệnh được chẩn đoán vỡ sàn ổ mắt được phẫu thuật tạo hình sàn ổ mắt với nội soi hỗ trợ từ năm 2016 đến năm 2019. Kết quả: Có 2 trường hợp được phẫu thuật cấp cứu vì kẹt cơ vận nhãn, 3 trường hợp phẫu thuật theo kế hoạch phục hồi sàn ổ mắt với vật liệu nhân tạo (2 Mesh Titanium, 1 Mesh tự tiêu, 2 Mesh Porous Polyethylene) mở xuyên xoang hàm qua đường miệng với nội soi hỗ trợ. Tất cả các trường hợp đều liền sẹo niêm mạc thì đầu, không có biến chứng nào được ghi nhận. Có một trường hợp bị tê bì vùng má (vị trí chi phối của thần kinh dưới ổ mắt) tạm thời, phục hồi hoàn toàn sau 3 tháng. Kết luận: Kết quả bước đầu cho thấy phẫu thuật tạo hình sàn ổ mắt qua đường miệng với nội soi hỗ trợ có những ưu điểm vượt trội cả về chức năng và thẩm mỹ. Từ khóa: Vỡ xương ổ mắt, chấn thương hàm mặt, lõm ổ mắt, tạo hình ổ mắt, phẫu thuật nội soi.

Purpose: To determine whether prophylactic antibiotic use in patients with orbital fracture prevent orbital infection. Design: Retrospective cohort study. Participants: All patients diagnosed with orbital fracture between January 1, 2008 and March 1, 2014 at The George Washington University Hospital and Clinics. Main Outcome Measures: Development of orbital infection. Results: One hundred seventy-two patients with orbital fracture met our inclusion and exclusion criteria. No orbital infections were documented. Twenty subjects (12%) received no prophylactic antibiotic, and two (1%) received only one dose of antibiotics pre-operatively for surgery. For primary antibiotic, 136 subjects (79%) received oral antibiotics, and 14 (8%) received intravenous (IV) antibiotics (excluding cefazolin). Cephalexin and amoxicillin-clavulanate were the most prescribed oral antibiotics that are equally effective. Five-to-seven day courses of antibiotics had no increased infections compared to ten-to-fourteen day courses. Calculated boundaries for effectiveness of prophylactic antibiotics ranged from a Number Needed to Treat (NNT) of 75 to a Number Needed to Harm (NNH) of 198. Conclusion: Antibiotics for prevention of orbital infection in patients with orbital fractures have become widely used. Coordination between trauma teams and specialists is needed to prevent patient overmedication and antibiotic resistance. Should antibiotics be used, shorter courses and avoidance of broad spectrum agents are recommended. Additional studies are needed.

Orbital fracture detection and size determination from computed tomography (CT) scans affect the decision to operate, the type of surgical implant used, and postoperative outcomes. However, the lack of standardization of radiological signs often leads to the false-positive detection of orbital fractures, while nonstandardized landmarks lead to inaccurate defect measurements. We aim to design a novel protocol for CT measurement of orbital floor fractures and evaluate the interobserver variability on CT scan images. Qualitative aspects of this protocol include identifying direct and indirect signs of orbital fractures on CT scan images. Quantitative aspects of this protocol include measuring the surface area of pure orbital floor fractures using computer software. In this study, 15 independent observers without clinical experience in orbital fracture detection and measurement measured the orbital floor fractures of three randomly selected patients following the protocol. The time required for each measurement was recorded. The intraclass correlation coefficient of the surface area measurements is 0.999 (0.997–1.000) with p-value < 0.001. This suggests that any observer measuring the surface area will obtain a similar estimation of the fractured surface area. The maximum error limit was 0.901 cm2 which is less than the margin of error of 1 cm2 in mesh trimming for orbital reconstruction. The average duration required for each measurement was 3 minutes 19 seconds (ranging from 1 minute 35 seconds to 5 minutes). Measurements performed with our novel protocol resulted in minimal interobserver variability. This protocol is effective and generated reproducible results, is easy to teach and utilize, and its findings can be interpreted easily.

Purpose: Computed tomography (CT) scans obtained in the setting of facial trauma often report aberrations in neural anatomy, such as optic nerve stretching. While these findings have not yet been correlated with clinical findings, they raise concern for traumatic optic neuropathy (TON). This study aims to correlate radiographic optic nerve abnormalities with clinical findings in the setting of craniomaxillofacial trauma. Methods: Patient charts were queried based on ICD-9 codes for the presence of an orbital fracture. Patients were included if the CT report mentioned an anatomic abnormality of the optic nerve. Patients who expired within 24 hours of arrival, had an open globe injury, or who were not able to participate in a visual exam were excluded. An additional matched cohort of patients with orbital fractures and without optic nerve abnormalities was selected. The primary endpoint was a clinical diagnosis of TON, and secondary endpoints included the need for ophthalmologic intervention and the presence of abnormal visual acuity. Results: One-hundred and eight patients were included in the study (54 per group). Radiographic optic nerve stretching was not associated with an increased risk of TON (OR: 2.22, 95% CI: 0.71-7.02); however, it was associated with increased risk for abnormal visual acuity (OR: 2.24, 95% CI: 1.01-4.99). There was no increased need for any ophthalmologic intervention (OR: 1.93, 95% CI: 0.86-4.31). Conclusions: Alterations in orbital anatomy on CT are common after orbital fracture and may inappropriately raise concern for TON. This in turn may prompt interfacility transfer and/or emergent ophthalmology consultation. This study demonstrates that radiographic stretching of the optic nerve does not increase the odds for TON in the setting of orbital fractures. While patients with abnormal optic nerve findings did have a higher rate of abnormal visual acuity, this is a common, multifactorial finding in this setting.

The aim of this study is to analyze the development of lower eyelid malposition following reconstruction of orbital fractures, in relation to the incisions used for access. A total of 198 surgical orbital floor reconstructions were performed in 175 patients between 2001 and 2011. Preoperative and postoperative presence of lower eyelid malposition of patients was reported. The types of incision used for access were as follows: approach via laceration (4.5%), via preexisting scar (16.2%), infraorbital (40.9%), subciliar (23.7%), transconjunctival (13.1%), and transconjunctival with lateral canthotomy (1.5%). The incidence of ectropion development following surgery was 3.0% and the incidence of entropion development following surgery was 1.0%. The highest rate of ectropion (11.1%) was seen using an approach via a laceration, followed by approach via a scar (6.3%). Our conclusion is that the transconjunctival incision without a lateral canthotomy has a low complication rate, provides adequate exposure, and leaves no visible scar.

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.

Study Design: Retrospective chart review of pediatric and globe injuries associated with orbital fractures.ObjectiveOur study seeks to examine these injuries and their association with orbital fractures at our trauma center to gain a better understanding of how to approach pediatric patients with orbital fractures. Methods: A retrospective review of all facial fractures in pediatric patients at an urban level 1 trauma center was performed for the years 2002 to 2014. Patient demographics were collected, as well as orbital fracture location, mechanism of injury, concomitant injuries, ophthalmologic documentation, imaging, and perioperative records. Results: One hundred sixteen pediatric patients over a 12-year period sustained an orbital fracture. The orbital floor was the most commonly fractured orbital bone in our series (60%). Thirty-four (30%) of the pediatric patients with orbital fractures had documented periorbital and/or globe injuries at the time of presentation. The most common periorbital injury was entrapment related to orbital floor fractures. Significant eyelid lacerations were present in seven patients, with five of these patients had canalicular injuries and two had canthal malposition. Five pediatric patients presented with traumatic optic neuropathy. Two patients had ruptured globes requiring enucleation. Conclusions: Periorbital soft tissue and globe injuries associated with orbital fractures occurs in a substantial number of pediatric patients. There are no guidelines for treatment of these type of injuries in the pediatric population. Further research should be performed to better understand the appropriate management of periorbital injuries in conjunction with surgical management of the orbital fractures
