[Surgical treatment of traumatic lesions of the orbit in children]

The paper presents an analysis of traumas of the orbit combined with craniocerebral trauma in children made according to data obtained at the eye microsurgery department, Morozov's Pediatric City Clinical Hospital. Fractures of the lower orbit wall account for around 70% of all orbit fractures; clinical signs of fractures of the lower orbit wall are defined; computer tomography is shown to be the most informative diagnostic tool. The paper contains indications for plasty of the lower orbit wall. Materials used in orbitoplasty are comparatively analyzed. The use of demineralized osseous implants is preferential.
