Objective:
To explore the clinical characteristics of naso-orbital-ethmoid (NOE) fracture, principles and surgical methods.
Methods:
Twenty-nine patients with NOE fractures were investigated. Operations for the treatment of NOE and subsequent deformities included reduction of central fragment, reconstruction of orbit walls, reattachment of medial canthal ligament and so on. The outcome of the treatment was evaluated.
Results:
Three cases were infected postoperatively. Of the 14 cases performed on reconstruction of orbit wall, 9 cases got complete correction for their dystopia/enophthalmos, 5 cases improved. Thirteen cases experiencing canthopexy obtained accepted outcome.
Conclusions:
The satisfactory correction of NOE fracture and subsequent enophthalmos/dystopia and telecanthus can be achieved with elective surgery in most cases.

01:27Cranial Bones: Lateral View
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...
