Study Overview
Brief Summary
All cases will undergo surgery under general anesthesia. Evaluation of patients with suspected orbital fracture should involve radiologic examination, motility test, diplopia field test and exophthalmometry. Plain X-ray films, although rarely used, with the Caldwell and Waters view may be done as a screening evaluation for possible fractures and foreign bodies. An orbital computed tomography, the gold standard in trauma, CT with contiguous thin axial and coronal sections should be ordered to confirm the diagnosis and plan for treatment
Postoperative care:
Proper postoperative instructions will be given the patient, in addition to the postoperative medications including antibiotics, corticosteroids and analgesics.
Detailed Description
This study will be carried out on patients attending the outpatient clinic in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Department, Faculty of Dentistry, Cairo University.
